The local police have located the lifeless body of Sergio Iván, a 75-year-old man who disappeared last Saturday in San Miguel de Salinas.

The discovery took place on Thursday afternoon near an irrigation channel on the La Castellana estate, at the height of the SUSA sector in a greenhouse area. Jurisdiction has since been handed over to the Guardia Civil who are preparing a report for the courts.

A local rambler reported finding the body to the local police from San Miguel de Salinas, who had been looking for him for a few days. A helicopter was combing the same area at the time.

The Association, SOS Desaparecidos, had posted his disappearance on its social networks, also providing a description.

It was his daughter who reported him missing. He was last seen on Saturday at 9 p.m. when he left his home on foot. He was wearing a shorts, grey T-shirt and different shoes on each foot (a dress shoe and a sports shoe). It wasn’t the first time he’d disappeared.

It is understood that he had a psychiatric illness, as well as being diabetic and fitted with a pacemaker. He wasn’t carrying a mobile phone nor his medication I was taking.
