Sources from the Civil Guard have confirmed that the body rescued on Thursday on La Cantería beach is Sergio López, the young man from Barcelona who disappeared last Friday. Carmelo García Déniz, island director of the General State Administration, has also confirmed the information.
At this time, the body is in the judicial offices of Arrecife, awaiting autopsy. The proceedings are in the hands of the Judicial Police of Costa Teguise.
According to the Civil Guard, relatives of the deceased appeared for identification. From the outset, everything indicated that the body matched that of Sergio López because of the tattoos he had on his body and the area in which the body was found.
