Unidentified Man’s Body Found at Miraflores’ Los Delfines Beach

A legal necropsy at the Lima central morgue will determine the cause of death, identifying the victim.

Overview

  • Bathers discovered the body near the shore on the morning of January 10, pulled it to the sand, and alerted serenazgo officers.
  • Police reported the man carried no identification; he appeared to be about 50 and wore a black shirt, dark jeans, and black sneakers.
  • Serenazgo and Miraflores police cordoned the area and ordered all swimmers out of the water pending the prosecutor’s arrival.
  • The on-duty prosecutor directed the formal removal of the body and its transfer to the Morgue Central de Lima for forensic examination.
  • Investigators are working with a preliminary drowning hypothesis, noting currents may have carried the body from a nearby beach under oversight of the Ministerio Público.
