Woman falls into garbage can after Malle party and dies: body cannot be found

Palma - A terrible end to a party night on Mallorca! A young woman was missing for two weeks, now the police are convinced that she fell into a street rubbish container and died.

Although no body has been found so far, the police on the Spanish vacation island are assuming that the accident was unintentional. "We have ruled out all other theories," said Mallorca's deputy chief of police, Fernando Reboyras.

The police are convinced that the 24-year-old was waiting for the bus on the night of October 1 to 2 after a night of partying near the marina in Palma when she suddenly wanted to get "something" from the container at the bus stop.

According to the reconstruction of the investigators, she fell into it. She was then unable to get out because of her drunken state, as reported by witnesses.

Shortly afterwards, the container was emptied by a garbage truck. The vehicle then drove to the Son Reus incinerator near Palma. The woman probably died on the journey, as there was no oxygen inside the vehicle. The vehicles are also equipped with a compactor that compresses the waste. "It is impossible to survive in a garbage truck," said Ángel Ruiz, head of the investigative team.

According to the findings so far, the fact that the remains have not yet been found is probably due to the fact that the Argentinian-born woman was burned in the waste processing plant. It is all very sad, said chief investigator Ruiz.
