They investigate the appearance of two dead men on a street in Veguellina de Órbigo (Leon)

Two men were found dead in the street of Veguellina de Órbigo, a town in the province of León, Spain, early Sunday morning. The bodies were discovered around 6:44 local time on Santa Teresa Street, according to reports from the regional emergency services 1-1-2 and officials from the Government Delegation in León. The Guardia Civil, Spain’s national police force, has launched an investigation into the incident. The two deceased individuals were identified as being in their late fifties, aged 57 and 59 years old. Their bodies were found lying side by side, with no visible signs of violence, according to the Government Delegation. Despite this, authorities have stated that all possible scenarios remain under consideration until further evidence emerges. A formal investigation has been opened by the Guardia Civil. José Luis Acebes, mayor of Villarejo de Órbigo, which includes Veguellina de Órbigo, confirmed that both men were residents of the locality and had a close friendship. He noted that there was no known history of conflicts between them. The bodies were located near the home of one of the victims, which was the last place they were seen alive earlier that morning. Emergency responders were alerted to the scene by the Guardia Civil, who reported finding two unconscious individuals, one of whom appeared to have died. A mobile intensive care unit from the Regional Health Service (SACYL), a medical team from Ribera de Órbigo, and an ambulance equipped with basic life support arrived at the location. On-site medical personnel confirmed the deaths of both men. The area where the bodies were found is part of a residential neighborhood, and local authorities have not yet released additional details regarding the circumstances surrounding the discovery. Police officers are currently working to determine whether foul play was involved or if the deaths were accidental. The lack of visible injuries suggests that the cause of death may not be immediately apparent. Neighbors and local residents have expressed shock at the tragic occurrence, though no immediate statements from family members have been made available. The local government has indicated that it will cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation and provide updates as more information becomes available. Authorities have urged anyone with relevant information to come forward. As of now, the case remains open, with the Guardia Civil continuing its efforts to gather evidence and interview witnesses. Further developments are expected in the coming hours and days as the investigation progresses. The community awaits clarity on the events that led to the deaths of the two men.
