Death at Vigo’s Derelict Pescanova Warehouse Under Investigation After Suspected Fall

An autopsy today will determine whether a six‑metre fall caused the death.

Overview

  • Police found the body of a 42-year-old man on Sunday inside the abandoned Pescanova complex on Jacinto Benavente in Vigo.
  • Initial assessments reported no obvious signs of violence, and investigators from Judicial and Scientific units were mobilized with the autopsy slated for today.
  • Operational sources indicate the victim likely fell from about six meters, with the body located on the floor in a hard-to-access area.
  • Firefighters inspected the structure, identified no collapse risk, and officers documented 12 people staying inside without ordering an evacuation.
  • The site, owned by Blackstone, has a record of small fires and prior rescues, and Local Police filed a report urging the owner to fully seal the building as the death follows a separate recent homicide at the old bus station.
