ARCHIVED - Body found by fishermen off coast of Javea on the Costa Blanca
The decomposed body was discovered off the coast of Javea in the Marina Alta comarca, Alicante province.
The crew of a fishing boat made the gruesome discovery of a body floating 16 miles from Cabo de la Nao in Javea (Xàbia) on Thursday afternoon, June 3.
One of the fishermen spotted a "bulge" in the sea and as they got closer, it became clear it was actually a body in an advanced state of decomposition.
The crew members immediately alerted the Guardia Civil's Maritime Service via radio at around 1pm, and the body was recovered.
An investigation has now been launched to try to identify the deceased and determine exactly how they died.
