The total number of fatalities due to the storm and floods that affected the province of Valencia on October 29th has risen to 224, following the death of a 79-year-old woman in a hospital. This is detailed in the historical cumulative report compiled by the Data Integration Centre (CID), updated at 8 p.m. this Friday, January 3rd, 2025. The number of missing persons cases that remain active is still three.

Autopsies have been conducted on all 224 victims recorded up to this Friday, and they have been fully identified. Of the total identifications, 171 were achieved through fingerprint analysis, 48 through DNA, and 5 correspond to identifications made while alive in hospitals. The families of 223 of the 224 deceased have already taken charge of the remains, following the issuance of the necessary judicial documentation to hold the respective funerals.

The CID is a technical body comprising a Forensic Office and an Office of the State Security Forces, with specialized agents from the Civil Guard and the National Police. Its main function is to gather and oversee the various identification reports conducted by different institutions on deceased persons in incidents with multiple victims, under RD 32/2009.

This centre is the only one authorized by that Royal Decree to publicly provide official figures to the media, through the Communication Office of the High Court of Justice of the Valencian Community, regarding the forensic medical treatment and scientific police handling of the incident.
