An initial post-mortem into the 16-year-old’s death has concluded he went into anaphylactic shock, possibly caused by the fish's poison.The unnamed boy’s body was recovered from the sea off the popular resort of Playa d’Aro on the Costa Brava 70 miles north of Barcelona just after 4pm on Saturday.The teen is said to have suffered a small wound in his neck, near his Adam’s apple, and marks on his face which were not consistent with a normal drowning.
Investigators have been handed a video recording said to contain footage of the attack, which the teenager’s parents have attributed to a type of weever fish.Stings from this species can be very painful, leading to swelling and reddening of the foot.Weevers normally sting peoples’ feet because they spent most of their time buried in the sand, embedding their spines as they discharge their poison.
Although he has not been named, his parents have released a statement saying video handed to cops shows the teen finding a jellyfish 100 metres from the beach.
