The body of a man found at sea in Peniche on April 2 – the day after the boat with cocaine appeared on the beach in the same municipality – has already been identified and belongs to a 61-year-old sports fisherman. who was a resident of Torres Windows.
As found out cmLeiria PJ is still waiting for the autopsy report, but everything points to a coincidence between the two events. That is, contrary to the assumptions of some sources, the body will not be related to the boat.
Because he explained cm a friend of the victim, who was buried this Saturday in Leiria, where he was born, was seen fishing in Baleal the day after the boatload of cocaine was found. The body was collected about an hour after the last observation. Friends of sports fishermen believe that the man could have been carried away by the sea when he was baiting, or he was knocked down by a wave from the rocks.
The man was a widower and had no children, but family members were surprised by his absence and later found the car in Baleal and the fishing rods and other equipment on the rock where he was last seen fishing. The fact that he was wearing diving pants was one of the clues that suggested he was a member of the boat’s crew.
