British man found floating dead in Benalmádena marina after friends reported him missing

A few hours later, a boat owner reported finding a body floating in the water at the popular leisure port.

The dead man had no shirt on and had wounds on his chest and arms, which police say are consistent with attempts to climb out of the water in a part of the marina where the quay walls are especially high.

The autopsy confirmed that the man had died of drowning after apparently not being able to climb out, although police continued their investigations this week.

Recently, another man was found dead in similar circumstances in Marbella's Puerto Banús.
