Reports emerged on social media this Wednesday regarding the discovery of human remains floating in the waters near Havana's iconic seawall. A Facebook user named Isabell Isabell shared a video showing a large crowd gathered around the area where the remains were found. The scene was attended by fire trucks, ambulances, and police vehicles.
Isabell accompanied her video with a caption expressing her dismay: “A young man was murdered, dismembered, and his body parts were thrown into the Havana Malecón. My God, when will the violence in Cuba end? These police, who should be present, are nowhere to be found. My condolences to his family and friends.”
The Facebook page “La Tijera” also reported on the incident, stating, “Human remains discovered at the Havana seawall.” The post noted that forensic experts and divers from the Rescue and Salvage Command are currently working at the scene.
Among the comments, a user named Tito Sánchez speculated that the remains might belong to a soldier from the Morro-Cabaña prevention unit. He mentioned that the soldier had an accident at Morro while on leave with five others. According to Sánchez, the soldier’s family is from Camagüey and is in a state of distress. He also praised a fellow soldier who bravely attempted a rescue but was unsuccessful and suffered injuries.
Sánchez claimed his information came from “fishermen friends” who recounted the tragic event that took place behind Morro, in the reef area. However, as of the time of writing, the victim's identity remains unknown, with no official statement from the authorities.
In a related incident in 2023, a young Cuban musician known on social media as "Eduardo White King" was reportedly murdered in Havana. His body was found floating in the waters of the Malecón, prompting his friends and family to demand justice.
