The body of 20-year-old James Gracey, a University of Alabama junior, has been found in waters off a beach in Barcelona, Spain, according to CNN.
Police said there is no suspicion of foul play, with a spokesperson telling CNN that “everything points to it being an accident, not a criminal act.”
Gracey had been reported missing during a spring break trip and was last seen around 3 am outside a nightclub near the Port Olímpic area after becoming separated from friends.
His younger siblings, Mary and Joe, have taken to social media to mourn their brother's death, with Mary sharing a heartfelt tribute on Instagram and Joe expressing his gratitude for the lessons he learned from Jimmy.
The case has drawn additional attention due to the family's connection to CNN, with James being the nephew of senior producer David Gracey.
Authorities in Spain are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding his death, examining evidence including his phone and wallet, which were recovered separately during the search.
