JUST IN: Body of Missing American Student Identified in Spain
"Everything points to it being an accident, not a criminal act. But again, this is all still under investigation. The 20 year old university of Alabama student was visiting friends who were studying abroad in Spain for his spring break. He had just arrived on Monday. He went out with friends, we're told, that night, and was last seen around 3 a.m. at a nightclub there by somebody."
"The body was discovered by a dive team Thursday in waters off the beaches of Barcelona near Port Olimpic. Gracey's body was discovered at a shallow depth just a few meters down. Forensics teams are still continuing their work at Somorrostro Beach. That is where Jimmy's body was found, and they do expect to remove his body shortly."
"We are so grateful for the kindness and concern that has been shown for our family during this incredibly difficult time. We have made the decision to pause media interviews at this time to focus on being together and caring for one another. Thank you for respecting our privacy and holding our family in your thoughts and prayers."
