The body of José Antonio G. B., aged 68, was found this Friday in Pinar de Antequera. A passerby who was exercising alerted the emergency services. The autopsy will determine the causes.
A passerby exercising in the Pinar de Antequera area came across the lifeless body of a man this morning. He immediately called the emergency services, who arrived at the scene and confirmed the death. The man is José Antonio G. B., aged 68, whose disappearance was reported on July 7 in Valladolid.
The search intensified after mobile signal
The investigation had accelerated in recent hours after the court authorised the tracking of the missing man's mobile phone. The last signal from the device placed him precisely in the vicinity of Pinar de Antequera, a forested area located in the municipality of Antequera, in the province of Málaga.
According to sources from the investigation, the body was located in a hard-to-access area, which initially led to thoughts of a possible accident. The agents dispatched to the scene cordoned off the area and proceeded to recover the body, which has now been officially identified.
José Antonio's family has been informed of the discovery and psychological support has been made available to them. The association SOS Desaparecidos, which had assisted in spreading the alert, has confirmed that the search has been deactivated.
No signs of criminality, awaiting autopsy
The same sources have indicated that, at present, there are no signs of criminality in the area where the body was found. No signs of violence or objects suggesting a violent death have been found. The autopsy, which will be carried out in the coming days, will determine the exact causes of death.
José Antonio G. B. was last seen on July 7 in the vicinity of Estornino Street, in the Valladolid neighbourhood of San Isidro. Since then, his family and the authorities had circulated his photograph and details in an effort to locate him. The news of his death has caused deep sorrow among his relatives and neighbours.
For the residents of Antequera and the surrounding area, the discovery in Pinar de Antequera serves as a reminder of the importance of citizen collaboration in such cases. The area, frequented by hikers and athletes, has been the scene of the tragic resolution of a disappearance that lasted more than two weeks.
The Antequera City Council has expressed its sorrow over the incident and has conveyed its condolences to the family. The National Police are keeping the investigation open until the circumstances of the death are clarified, although all indications suggest it is a natural or accidental death.
The missing person alert, which had been disseminated through multiple media and social networks, is now officially deactivated. The family has requested respect and privacy during this time of grief.
