Overview
- Forensic testing matched the recovered DNA to a family sample after an autopsy at the Institute of Legal Medicine of Valencia.
- TRAGSA workers uncovered the remains with an excavator during Turia riverbed cleaning and notified authorities, and a judge from Quart de Poblet supervised the recovery.
- Guardia Civil investigators and the forensic examiner had anticipated the match based on the body's condition, physical characteristics, and where it was found.
- The corpse had been buried under sediment in a section of the river where other victims from the flood were previously located.
- Two people from the disaster are still missing: Francisco Ruiz Martínez, swept away in Monserrat, and Elisabet Gil Martínez, who disappeared in Cheste.
