The body of José Esteban Acuña Fernández, who went missing on Monday while gathering seafood, was discovered yesterday near Caletón Blanco on the Haría coast.
The discovery, made by the victim´s brother, brings an end to a five-day search that extended as far as Fuerteventura. Emergency services believe the body may have been temporarily trapped in a cave, preventing its earlier discovery.
Acuña was 61 years old and known as Pepe the Gravedigger due to his work at Teguise cemetery.
