This Sunday, October 1, the body of a woman appeared in the basement of a building in Candas, Pontevedra. This is Mª Carmen GN, 54 years old, missing since last Monday, according to El Faro de Vigo.. This property, located on Atranco Street, is abandoned and apparently the building was never completed due to water problems, since a river runs right next to it.. It has been squatted for years and has become the scene of several incidents, among the most recent a fire in a mattress last March, which forced it to be evacuated and caused at least one minor injury..
The discovery of the body occurred after members of Emerxencias-Civil Protection and Bombeiros do Morrazo spent hours bailing out the water accumulated in the pit, where it was suspected that the woman could be.. Finally, they found her lifeless at five in the afternoon, and after eight in the afternoon, a funeral van took the body to the forensic anatomical center to perform an autopsy that must determine the cause of death..
According to the Galician media, the relatives of this neighbor, known as Mari, reported the case to the police, as well as through the organization SOS Desaparecidos.. The woman left her home on Monday and was carrying her mobile phone. Local Police and Civil Guard carried out several raids and inspections in buildings in the area in recent days to try to find her..
Frequent altercations
Finally, they decided to drain the water from the basement, which was almost permanently flooded, since the building lacks waterproof doors and windows against rain.. The work continued for several hours until all the liters of cloudy water were removed and the woman's body was found.
The building remained sealed to collect evidence. Neighbors claim that security inside the property is non-existent and altercations are frequent. For the moment, investigators, who do not rule out any hypothesis, continue to look for evidence that will help clarify the causes of death.
