Answer

What happens when someone is found dead on a yacht in Palma harbor?

In a case like this, the Guardia Civil usually takes over the investigation and forensic specialists secure the scene. An autopsy is typically needed to determine whether the death was natural, accidental, or caused by something else. Until those results are known, the cause of death remains unconfirmed.
