Man found dead in car park of Vigo industrial estate
The Scientific Police of the Vigo-Redondela police station are working on the identification of a man found lifeless in the rear car park of a warehouse in the O Caramuxo industrial estate, according to lavozdegalicia.es. The corpse was in an advanced state of decomposition.
To obtain the fingerprints, officers have resorted to a technique of hydrating the fingertips, a process that can take several days. The aim is to recover the fingerprint ridges and compare them with police databases of ID cards, criminal records and missing persons, in both national records and records of foreigners with residency in Spain.
The body was discovered by two workers who were returning from their holidays after a three-week closure for the August break. The deceased showed no apparent signs of violence, and given the state of the corpse, it is estimated that he may have died between the 1st and 24th of the current month.
The deceased is not known in the parish of San Paio de Navia and is not listed as missing in the region. Some sources consulted suggest that "he is not from here".
Although the industrial warehouse was closed during August, the rear car park was accessible from wasteland situated beside a large factory with no activity, which would explain how the man was able to access the premises. For the moment, there are no further developments in the investigation.
