Decomposed diver’s body found

    A badly decomposed body dressed in a neoprene wetsuit has been found in the waters off Cabo de Gata. The Salvamento Maritimo lifeboat 'Denebola' recovered the body approximately twelve miles south east of the Cabo del Gata after it was spotted by a fishing boat and took it to the port in Almeria. The body had been in the water so long that practically all the flesh had gone from the bones. According to police sources there have been no reports of divers disappearing in Almeria, Granada, Murcia or Melilla, although given the time the body had been in the water it could have come from any part of the Spanish coast. An autopsy will be carried out on the body to determine the cause of death and any clues as to its identity.
