An announcement that was made on TV by the aunt of the two young boys who also thanked the press “for being there day after day to support us, both by giving us the floor publicly, and every day behind the camera. And we wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts”, relate to the Vanguardia.
The family also left a message on social networkstaken up by the Belgian media 7sur7, where it indicates that “the nightmare that lasted fifteen days is over. Thank you to all the volunteers from all over Spain. We have no words for all the help we received. We will be grateful for the rest of our lives […] The pain will never go away, but knowing that they have been found brings us peace.”

Still according to our colleagues, one of the bodies of the young boys, without specifying which one, was found in Catarroja, almost 10 km from La Curra, a district of the municipality of Torrent where the two victims lived.
As a reminder, on the day of the events, Izan and Ruben had just spent the day with their grandmother when the father finally came to pick them up after the alert was announced. But while they were playing in the living room of the family home, water began to enter the residence, cutting off the electricity and causing a wall to give way, until the terrible tragedy.
