DNA tests are to be carried out on the body of a diver found floating in the water 25 nautical miles from the coast of Ibiza by a pleasure yacht which is believed to be that of a 29 year old diver who went missing in Cartagena on May 30th.
The body, in an advanced state of decomposition, was spotted on Saturday, and was initially sent to the Instituto de Medicina Legal de Ibiza in an attempt to identify the deceased.
After confirming that there were no local divers missing, the search was widened, and databasing police records, the Balearic island authorities discovered that the body of a diver who went missing in Cartagena had never been found.
The diver was still wearing the neoprime suit and flippers worn at the time of his disappearance, which matches those described by his family, and there is now little doubt that this is indeed the body of 29 year old Pascual, who disappeared whilst harpoon fishing with a snorkel off the coast of Escombreras, in Cartagena.
The body will be returned to Murcia for formal DNA testing and identification.
Following his disappearance Emergency Services searched for several days, but could find no trace of the diver.
The body had floated 140 nautical miles, or 220 kilometres, before finally arriving in Ibizan waters.
The 29 year old had two children from a previous relationship and his current partner is expecting their first child.
