Tourist’s Tragic End in Malaga: Screams Ignored, Mystery Deepens

Spain18 Views

An 80-year-old tourist from the U.S. was found dead in his Malaga apartment, and it’s as grim as it sounds. The guy was just trying to enjoy a quiet staycation in Spain, but things went south real fast

This all went down Monday night (January 20), and the poor guy didn’t stand a chance. Turns out, there were signs—literally people heard them—but no one put the pieces together until it was too late.

Screams in the Night That Everyone Shrugged Off

Picture this: it’s around 9 PM, and a woman in the same apartment building hears someone screaming. Like, proper screaming. She said it sounded like a guy fighting for his life, like someone was smothering him with a pillow or something.

“I thought it was from the TV or maybe a movie,” she said. The screams lasted a few minutes, but instead of calling for help, she decided to go upstairs and ask her neighbor if they heard it too. Spoiler: they didn’t.

“I felt better thinking it wasn’t real,” she admitted later. Yikes.

Not Everyone Stayed Quiet

Here’s the twist: another neighbor did call the cops. Police showed up and checked the area but didn’t find anything. Meanwhile, the tourist was already dead in his apartment, just a few steps from where the screams were heard.

It took days for them to discover his body.

What Happened?

The tourist had been hit in the head—hard. He ended up with a traumatic brain injury. The cops aren’t sure yet if the attack was planned or just some random freak incident. To make things worse, someone snuck into his apartment afterward and stole his stuff.

So now, investigators are trying to figure out if the robbery was just a lucky (for the thief) coincidence or part of a bigger, darker plan.

What’s Next?

Right now, the homicide team is doing their thing. They’re running forensic tests and waiting on the autopsy to clear up exactly how and when he died.

For the neighbors, this whole thing is a chilling wake-up call. Next time you hear screams in the night? Maybe don’t assume it’s just Netflix in the background.
