Two Dead on Balearic Coasts: When the Sea Withholds Answers

Answer

Can sea currents around Mallorca carry bodies far from where an incident happened?

Yes, sea currents and wind can move a body a long way from the original location. That makes it harder to know where an incident started and whether it is connected to a crossing, a shipwreck or another event. Around Mallorca and the wider Balearic Sea, this can complicate both rescue work and investigations.
