Body of missing athlete found

Guardia Civil officers in Granada have found the body of the athlete who went missing on December 17th 2008.

Thirty year old Fidel Ramírez had been preparing for a marathon and had set off via Pico del Caballo in the Sierra Nevada, Ogíjares, La Zubia and Lanjarón for a final destination of Salobreña.

Ramírez had set off without any warm clothes, food or mobile phone, just taking a backpack with some water in it.

The lifeless body was found in the Rio Dílar at a place known as Collado Chaquetas. Initial identification was made through the clothing he was wearing.

A search for the athlete had been ongoing since his disappearance over a month ago.
