Body of Missing Man Found in River Near Barcelona
Mollet del Vallès, Spain – Authorities have recovered the body of a 69-year-old man who went missing Friday after seeking help from a family member while inside his vehicle. The discovery, made Sunday, concludes a search effort focused on the Mogent River near Mollet del Vallès, a town located just outside of Barcelona.
According to reports from El Mundo, the man contacted a relative requesting assistance before his disappearance. Details surrounding the circumstances that led to the vehicle entering the river remain unclear.
This incident occurs less than two years after a shooting in Mollet del Vallès left three people injured, with one later dying from their wounds in September 2025. While authorities have not indicated any connection between the two events, the recent recovery underscores a period of concern for public safety in the area.
The recovery operation involved local police and emergency services. Authorities have not yet released the man’s name, pending notification of next of kin. Further investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the incident.
