Overview
- Sanitation workers discovered a man's body early Sunday in a container on Calle Pérez Galdós in central Castellón, prompting National Police to seal the garbage truck and open an investigation.
- Municipal and police sources confirmed the deceased is Vicente Domínguez, about 45, an IT and point‑of‑sale services entrepreneur and the ex‑husband of Almassora mayor María Tormo.
- Investigators are taking statements, inspecting the victim’s nearby residence, and reviewing security footage and phone data, while the official cause of death remains pending autopsy.
- Several outlets, citing sources close to the case, report injuries consistent with a beating and suggest he may have been dumped alive, a hypothesis that has not been confirmed by police.
- In a separate case, Tragsa crews found human remains Tuesday near the Turia in Manises; by judicial order they were sent to Valencia’s Institute of Legal Medicine for autopsy and genetic testing to determine identity, with early reporting pointing to a possible link to victims still missing from the October 2024 flood.
