AN investigation has been opened after Lucía López García, a 28-year-old nurse, was found dead in the Yeste health centre, in the province of Albacete on Wednesday, September 7.

According to reports on Tuesday, September 13, authorities have opened an investigation into the cause of death of the young nurse from the town of Molinicos (Albacete), who was found dead at the health centre she worked at.
