A fisherman found last Monday a floating body in the Van Duzen River, in Humboldt County, California (USA). The place where the body was found is very close to the area where at the end of Novembers, Ivan Liñan, a native of Maracena (Granada) and 31 years old disappeared. The local police is collating the DNA of the body with samples that the police have sent them from Spain. He has also sent them, according to friends of Liñán, a dental profile.
I am so very sorry to hear this.
Ivan was identified by photos of his tattoos and dental records.
[FONT=&]The family intends that Ivan’s body be brought to Spain without the need for DNA testing, as requested by the California police, because this procedure delays the repatriation several weeks.[/FONT]

Linan went missing, according to a friend, after becoming progressively more paranoid. “From thanks giving he started making strange coments about people trying to hurt, kidnap ir take pictures from him,” wrote Iban Fernandez, who was driving the car that Linan was in when he disappeared.
“We were in our way to met our friend’s on [Hwy] 36,” Fernandez stated, “when suddenly he grab the steering wheel and we Crash with a fallen tree…After that he got agressive, hitting things and me…We where fighting during a while, and when i tried to get help…he ran away into the woods.”
In the article linked above are some details I have not read before (BBM):
I think it's possible he was not paranoid at all. I might have missed it but have they said the cause of death?
My condolences to Ivan's family. That said, I hope they will allow the DNA testing to be completed to make 100% sure this was Ivan. I have seen them make mistakes before. Here's a California case from last year where they supposedly ID'd a man by fingerprints. His family had a funeral and buried him, only to find out afterwards that they buried the wrong man and their son was still alive: https://www.ocregister.com/2017/06/...range-county-coroners-office-dead-man-is-son/
