Rotten body found in Tenerife

A decomposed body was discovered at a roundabout in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, prompting an ongoing investigation by police and forensic experts.

A decomposed body was found in a roundabout in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, as reported by Canarian Weekly. The police confirmed the discovery, which was made around 6 PM on Wednesday after emergency services received a call about the situation. Due to the remote location of the roundabout and the condition of the body, authorities are uncertain how long the remains have been present at the site.

Currently, the body has not been identified, and forensic experts are resorting to scientific methods for identification. They are analyzing the corpse's DNA and dental records, alongside examining personal belongings found with the remains. Investigators are also reviewing recent reports of missing persons to determine if any of these cases are connected to the body that was discovered.

It is expected that the cause of death will only be revealed after an autopsy is conducted. Traffic restrictions were imposed around the roundabout, which has since been reopened as the investigation continues.
