Police are investigating the death of a 29-year-old British woman found on a £27 million superyacht in the Majorcan port of Palma. Emergency services were called on Sunday night after her body was discovered onboard. Paramedics pronounced her dead at the scene.
The woman, identified by Spanish police as a British national, was a crew member on the motor yacht Lind. She reportedly helped with maintenance and was found after colleagues raised the alarm when she failed to respond to messages and calls.
A Civil Guard spokesman confirmed the victim's age and nationality. A source close to the investigation said everything points to natural causes, though an autopsy is pending. No obvious signs of violence were found on or near the body, and her colleagues have been interviewed as standard procedure.
The 170-foot Cayman Islands-flagged yacht is valued at £27 million and can be chartered for nearly £300,000 per week. It is believed to be owned by German billionaire Peter Alexander Wacker, who holds a 10% stake in Wacker Chemie AG.
