It comes after a missing teenager was tragically found dead in Mallorca after a 10-day search.

Pablo Alejandro, 19, disappeared from Palma, the capital, on October 16.

On Saturday, October 26, his body was found inside his own vehicle in a ‘wooded area with difficult access.’

A man picking mushrooms happened to stumble upon the scene, reports 20 Minutos.

Pablo’s corpse was found in an area near Cala Major, one of the locations where the Policia Nacional last traced his mobile phone.

An investigation is underway to determine his cause of death, including an autopsy.

Sources said the working theory is that he suffered a fatal car crash, but this will need to be corroborated by investigators.
