Spain's Civil Guard discovered the remains of a 56-year-old Belgian national, named by local media as Katty Oosterlinck, on Friday morning after she was reported missing earlier this week. Investigators found her corpse at the Zurita rubbish dump in the town of Puerto del Rosario on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura. Ms Oosterlinck had been reported missing on May 4 after relatives and friends lost contact with her.
Spanish authorities subsequently launched a search operation and are now investigating the circumstances of her death. Officers had been deployed to the area since Thursday.
However, the authorities have not yet made public the cause of death or circumstances around which it occurred. A post-mortem examination is now due to take place after Ms Oosterlinck's remains are removed from the landfill site while investigators analyse the evidence surrounding her death.
