An unidentified man was found dead along the shoreline near Bachelor’s Beach early Monday morning, according to local reporting that cited Aruba Police.
The discovery was reported at approximately 6:14 a.m. on September 7 near the anchor by the entrance to the former Lago Colony area. Police responding to the location found the body on the coast east of the beach.
Police have not identified the man
Authorities determined that the deceased was male, but no identification was found with him, according to the report. The body was described as being in an advanced state of decomposition.
No name, age or nationality has been released. Police also have not publicly stated how long the man may have been in the water, where he entered the sea or what caused his death. Those questions remain part of the investigation.
The location is on Aruba’s southeastern coast near San Nicolas. Strong currents can carry objects and debris over considerable distances, so the place where something reaches shore does not by itself establish where it originated. Authorities have not announced any conclusion about the circumstances in this case.
Investigation continues
Police are asking anyone who saw or heard something that could assist investigators to contact the anonymous police tip line at 11141.
Residents should avoid circulating names or unconfirmed claims while identification work is ongoing. Any official update concerning the man’s identity, the cause of death or the circumstances leading to the discovery should come from the investigating authorities.
