Two individuals are currently under investigation for negligent homicide and concealing the identity of a boat operator following a fatal parasailing accident in Benidorm. The incident occurred on August 10 when a 66-year-old woman died and a 47-year-old man sustained serious injuries after the tow cable snapped during their tandem parasailing activity.

The Guardia Civil's Judicial Police team in Altea conducted an investigation, examining deteriorating weather conditions and the operation of the boat. It was revealed that the actual skipper, who had the necessary qualifications and training, was not formally listed as a crew member at the time. One person is accused of negligent homicide, while another is being probed for concealing the identity of the boat operator. The case has been forwarded to the investigating section of Benidorm's Court of First Instance.
