Overview
- The National Police child-protection unit (GRUME) is leading the case, with homicide and accidental death ruled out following the autopsy in Valencia.
- Digital forensics target the child's smartphone, open Instagram and TikTok profiles, and a Fortnite account, with the phone data extraction still pending.
- Authorities say school bullying is considered unlikely, as the child's school has provided no report pointing to harassment.
- The death occurred at the father's home during Nochebuena; relatives later found the child missing from his room and, according to local reports, in an interior patio after a fall from a seventh-floor window.
- Officials note such cases are extraordinarily rare for under-10s in Spain, even as suicides among people under 25 rose to 210 in 2024.
