A Civil Guard officer died on Friday in San Agustín de Guadalix, a Spanish town 40 kilometers from Madrid, during a police operation. The man stepped on a floor in poor condition and fell several meters, according to Antena 3.
Emergency services were called to the scene, but nothing could be done to prevent his death.
The Civil Guard has already referred to the incident on social media, writing: "We regret the death in the line of duty of our colleague José Antonio who, during a police action in an industrial warehouse in an industrial park in San Agustín del Guadalix, fell several meters when one of the floors gave way".
