The death of an American student whose body was found in the water at a Barcelona beach days after he was reported missing remains a mystery as police say foul play is not believed to be involved.
James Paul Gracey, a junior at the University of Alabama, was last seen early Tuesday at Shoko, a beachfront nightclub in Villa Olimpica, Spain. His body was found about 300 feet away in the water at Somorrostro Beach around 6 p.m. local time Thursday, Catalan police told NBC News.
Gracey, 20, was visiting friends studying abroad when he went missing, his family said. Very little information has been released about his time in the Spanish city.
