In the Palma district of Es Camp Redó, authorities reacted to a troubling discovery made at a residence on Calle San Joaquín. The National Police began an investigation into the deaths of two men whose bodies were found in a state of severe decay this afternoon. Early assessments indicated a lack of visible signs of violence at the scene, leading investigators to consider a possible double suicide as a leading theory while the inquiry continues (police report).
The 911 emergency line received a call around midday from the owner of the apartment at Calle San Joaquín number 19. He explained that it had been several weeks since he had heard from his tenants and that he had grown increasingly concerned as he returned to the property. Upon entering the space, the owner detected a strong, foul odor permeating the landing area, prompting immediate police involvement and a rapid response from multiple units (municipal communications).
Upon arrival, a substantial contingent of police teams secured the scene, gained entry, and conducted a cautious examination. The bodies of the two tenants were found in a state of advanced decomposition, making a precise assessment of the time of death difficult to determine on sight. The identities of the two men were confirmed as one person aged 81 and another individual who has not yet been identified, according to preliminary reports from the on-site investigators. The scene prompted a coordinated effort between the Police Murder Group and a judicial commission to oversee the home visit and the subsequent collection of evidence (official briefings).
Investigators conducted a methodical visual inspection of the premises with the aim of identifying any immediate indicators of foul play. No signs of a struggle or of robbery were observed at the location, and there were no obvious injuries on the bodies that would suggest a violent death. After the initial judicial review, the bodies were transported to the legal medical institute for a full autopsy, which is expected to provide a reliable determination of the cause of death and the events leading up to it (medical examiner updates). The autopsy process is standard in cases where the circumstances are unclear and time of death is difficult to establish through exterior examination alone (forensic guidance).
If the inquiry moves toward a conclusion, the primary hypothesis remains that the deaths may represent a double suicide, with investigators continuing to explore all other possibilities and confirming findings through forensic analysis, witness interviews, and a review of the occupants’ recent activities and health conditions (police statements). The investigation, carried out in coordination with the judicial authorities, will advance with careful consideration of every piece of evidence to ensure a thorough and accurate account of what occurred in this residential unit (status update).
