Grant Barr, a New York banker, mysteriously disappeared while on vacation in Spain. His body was discovered weeks later on March 3, but it wasn’t identified until early April, leaving his family searching frantically for him. They were unaware that his remains had been found as Spanish authorities failed to communicate this. His death has been ruled as drowning, and his family expressed frustration over the lack of information during their search. Barr, who was coping with personal issues, was in Spain for a sailing getaway.
"After a week and back and forth between the courts and the coroner's office, his remains were released on Friday and we were able to cremate him and finally bring him home," Barr's brother, James Barr, told The Spanish Eye about his brother.
"While the thoughts of a worst-case scenario came to mind from time to time, none of us actually thought this would ultimately be the outcome," he continued.
James was frustrated that the report from Spanish police means "the last time we were all there searching for [Grant] two weeks he was already found, however, they didn't even suggest that there was something they were looking into."
"Our Brother passed on doing what he loved: facing the sea in its magnificent beauty and terrible might," Grant's other brother Luke said in a statement through James.
