A missing British couple have been found dead days after the devastating Spanish floods which have killed more than 200 people.
The region of Valencia was devastated by the flash floods The elderly pair were discovered in a sparsely-populated area where they lived near the small town of Pedralba a 45-minute drive northwest of the east coast city of Valencia. Mayor Andoni Leon confirmed the news yesterday, saying volunteer locals had found their bodies. He said the town hall had led attempts to try to find people who were still missing following the floods on Tuesday as no outside help had yet arrived.
He was taken initially to nearby Guadalhorce Hospital and stabilised before being transferred to a hospital in Malaga where he died in the early hours of Wednesday morning after suffering multiple organ failure. The bodies of the British couple are understood to have been found in what was left of their home. The grim discovery was made on Saturday but their nationalities were not confirmed by the local mayor until yesterday.
