The case is being investigated by the Civil Guard and a court in El Vendrell
The Civil Guard has opened an investigation to try to identify the incomplete skull found this Saturday accidentally in a beach in the Tarragona town of Torredembarra. Police sources explain that the remains have been found about a hundred meters from the shore and four meters deep by a person who was diving this weekend at Els Muntanyans beach.
According to the Diari de Tarragona, the author of the find was diving when he saw something at the bottom of the sea and, believing it to be shells, he approached and began to remove the sand. It was at that moment that he noticed the presence of the skull. He then notified the lifeguard service, which in turn alerted the local Torredembarra police.
