Student Likely Crushed And Incinerated In Majorca Garbage Truck

Recently, a devastating incident unfolded in Majorca, Spain, where a young student, Agostina Rubini Medina, 24, went missing after a night out with friends in Palma, the capital city of Majorca. According to sources, it is believed that Medina tragically fell into a garbage bin and met a horrific fate.

Spain's National Police have put forth a theory suggesting that while attempting to retrieve an item, possibly her cellphone, Medina fell into a garbage bin and lost consciousness. Subsequently, she was unknowingly dumped into a garbage truck, where she was crushed in the compactor before being dropped into an incinerator.

Witnesses reported seeing Medina in a visibly intoxicated state purchasing snacks from a nearby shop shortly before midnight. Later, her handbag and blouse were found near a large garbage bin, indicating a possible sequence of events leading to her tragic end.

Tracking data from her phone revealed its movement from the garbage bin location to the incineration plant, aligning with the travel records of the garbage truck. Authorities suspect that Medina met her demise in the truck before it reached the plant.

Subsequently, human skeletal remains were discovered at the incinerator plant, prompting authorities to conduct DNA testing to confirm if they belong to Medina. Police noted that Medina, a slender individual with a low alcohol tolerance who was on medication, may have passed out due to a combination of factors.

This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers associated with intoxication and the importance of staying safe during social outings. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Agostina Rubini Medina during this difficult time.
