Passersby find the dead body of a man on a beach in Torremolinos
The National Police have launched an investigation after the dead body of a man was discovered on a Torre del Mar beach in the early hours of this morning (Thursday), in Torremolinos.
Passersby raised the alarm after making the grim discovery opposite the Miguel beach bar on the Poniente seafront. The deceased is believed to be a foreign male tourist aged between 65 and 75 years old.
Police say that they believe the man died of natural causes, possibly due to a heart attack, as the body showed no external signs of violence, but an autopsy, due to be carried out at the Institute of Legal Medicine (IML) in Malaga, will confirm his identity and determine the exact cause of death.
