On Sunday, the Generalitat firefighters found the lifeless body of the woman who was swept away by a river in Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona, yesterday during the intense rainfall episode that affected much of Catalonia, particularly its central coast. This morning, the mayor, Òscar Fernández, reported that the woman’s body was found in the breakwater of the port of Premià de Mar, during the work carried out since Saturday and throughout the night. The incident occurred when a family was trying to cross the river after leaving the local sports complex, and the woman, a resident of Cabrera de Mar, fell into it and was swept away by the water. «When it rains so hard, they were asked not to leave the municipal pavilion.» It seems that there were people who decided to go out despite the rain, and they attempted to cross the river when 60 liters were falling in 40 minutes,» the mayor explained. On the other hand, the inspector of the Bombers Rat Puigverd has detailed that they have been working all night and that this morning, with the light of day, they have intensified the search in the river up to the sea. After not finding her in the river, they expanded the search to the sea, where they found the lifeless body; they also said that personal belongings were found in the river, but they could not confirm that they belonged to the deceased woman.
