A 24-year-old student, Agostina Rubini Medina, is believed to have been crushed to death in a garbage truck and then incinerated after falling into a trash bin, according to the National Police of Spain. Medina had been missing for over two weeks after she disappeared during a night out with friends in Majorca, Spain.
The police theorize that Medina, who was reportedly intoxicated, fell into a garbage bin while possibly trying to retrieve an item, such as her cellphone, and passed out. She was then likely scooped up with the garbage into a truck, crushed in the truck’s compactor, and eventually dumped into an incinerator.
A shop worker near a bus stop on Medina’s route home reported that the visibly drunk student had stopped in to buy a bag of chips just before midnight. Shortly afterward, a witness reported seeing Medina’s handbag and blouse neatly arranged by a large trash bin. Tracking data showed Medina’s phone at that location for around a half-hour before moving to the incineration plant, where it went dead. This timeline matches travel records from the garbage truck.
Police later found human skeletal remains among the ash of the incinerator plant and are working to determine if they belong to Medina. The police added that Medina, a thin woman with a low tolerance for alcohol, was on medication, which may have caused her to pass out.
