Julen's autopsy: "The position of the body determines that it was a free, rapid fall" | Spain

Gómez de Celis, who pointed out that the commission had covered the well last night with a 600-kilogram steel sheet and that the intention was to fill the two wells and seal them when they have the judicial authorization, explained that "the complete design of the operation, which was done urgently, and all the work that was undertaken were based on a thesis: that Julen was in the well It was at the level where it was found.It was worked with urgency, but with great delicacy.Because it had to happen without hurting, "he said at the time. 39, a press conference held in a hotel in La Cala del Moral, belonging to the Municipality of Rincon de la Victoria, Malaga, 8.5 km from Totalán. The delegate thanked the work of all security forces, especially the miners.

The delegate said that Julen was located at 1.25 am by two miners and a mountain guard, because at 3 pm on Friday, the workers went down with an agent. The body was lifted at 4 o'clock. Acting on the fact that the body was covered with sand, the responsible person explained that one of the most likely theses is that, at the very fall, the earth would come off the walls of the well, "very imperfect , very sandy ". . He also said that there are "various theories" about the "plug" found in the well, but that there is still no certainty. With regard to the airbags that may exist in this area, the delegate specified that he was between the feet and the head of the child.

He indicated that the investigation into the possible liabilities of the child's death is in the hands of the magistrate. Julen fell on the 13th in a well, devoid of the relevant autonomous and municipal authorizations, when the family was on the estate of a relative in Totalán where they were going to prepare a paella. The child is rushed through the perforation, about 110 meters deep and 25 centimeters in diameter, without anyone being able to do anything to prevent it. Since this afternoon, rescue teams have worked tirelessly to find Julen.

The relief work was delayed by almost two weeks due to the terrain's orography, the materials it contains and the difficulty of the machinery to get to the hole. The official described the rescue as a "colossal and unprecedented mission" in which 85,000 tons of land were mobilized. "It was an obstacle course, those in which the mountain put us in. It seems like the mountain was defending itself," he said. The members of the mining rescue brigade opened a gallery to access the hole in which the small pit had fallen from an auxiliary well that had required tremendous efforts to break through due to the difficulties of the terrain. In order to be able to dig the horizontal tunnel that led them to where Julen was, rescuers had to overcome many obstacles and take great safety measures. This work began last Thursday at 5:33 pm and lasted about 32 hours. During the process they had to run up to four times small detonations of explosives to defeat the rock. They also had problems with the tubing of the vertical cavity through which the eight miners descended.
