Investigations are underway to identify the dead body found on a piece of agricultural land in Ribeira Brava last week.
Unfortunately, the body was in an advanced state of decomposition, and although the initial on-the-spot examination reveals that there is no evidence to suggest foul play, the examiner was unable to identify the cause of death. All that he could confirm, is that it is the body of a man.
The Public Security Police are now waiting for the results of the autopsy to determine the cause of death.
