A doctor certified the death.

The Basque Police had opened proceedings for the death of the 15-year-old minor, after receiving notice from

relatives who were the ones who located him

, and after

the doctor could not determine that they were natural causes.

The young man had signs of having been

beaten in the face and torso

a possible assault.
