Catalan police have launched an investigation into the death of a 22-year-old man in Lleida after he fell from a third-floor apartment on Sunday afternoon. Officers arrested two men, aged 28 and 24, in connection with the incident.
Investigation Underway
Paramedics transported the victim, whose identity has not been released, in a critical condition to Hospital Arnau de Vilanova in the city. He succumbed to his injuries in the early hours of Monday morning, according to police sources who spoke to Europa Press.
Investigators suspect a dispute with his flatmates may have preceded the fatal fall. Police found evidence consistent with a struggle inside the apartment, including an open window leading to a light well, La Sexta reported.
