BarcelonaThe Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) are investigating the death of a young man this Tuesday at the Maremàgnum shopping center in Barcelona. According to police sources, the man jumped from the second floor of the establishment shortly before 11 a.m. Specifically, he fell at the intersection of Passeig de Ítaca and Plaça de la Odisea, which separates the Maremagnum from other facilities such as the Aquarium.
According to several sources who have explained to ARA, the man is believed to be a 21-year-old Austrian. The same sources explain that, based on the shopping center's surveillance cameras, the young man had been wandering around the center looking for a place to jump from. A witness who witnessed the events also explains that the young man spent some time looking down and to the sides from the second floor before jumping. However, the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan police) have not yet confirmed any hypothesis. The investigation is being conducted by the Ciutat Vella district police station.
The young man was initially treated by the center's security and the port police. However, when the ambulance arrived, they were unable to save his life.
