    The body of missing University of Alabama student James “Jimmy” Gracey was recovered Thursday in Barcelona, Spain, after a days-long search, authorities confirmed.

    Police recovered the body at Port Olimpic, a marina just steps from the waterfront nightclub where Gracey was last seen.

    A spokesperson for Mossos d’Esquadra said the remains recovered at Port Olimpic have been identified as belonging to the 20-year-old junior, who was last seen early Tuesday morning at the waterfront Shoko nightclub.

    Gracey, of Elmhurst, Illinois, disappeared around 3 a.m. after visiting the Shoko restaurant and nightclub.

    “He was with friends, but they got separated at the end of the night,” his mother, Therese Gracey, said. Gracey never made it back to the Airbnb he had rented with friends, his family said.

    Divers were seen entering the water with a stretcher at around 7:05 p.m. local time and returned to the dock with a body bag 10 minutes later.

    The discovery came after a search that included helicopters, boats, dive teams and motorcycle units, as authorities pursued multiple lines of investigation, including the possibility that Gracey may have drowned.

    Divers said visibility in the water was extremely limited, at times only about 40 centimeters or roughly 16 inches.
