Two men, aged 57 and 59, have been found dead on the public street in Veguellina de Órbigo, León. The discovery occurred around 6:44 AM on Santa Teresa Street, and both were residents of the area and had a friendship, according to sources from 20minutos.

Meanwhile, in Villarejo de Órbigo, the death of a woman is being investigated under circumstances similar to those of the deceased men. However, the Guardia Civil has indicated that any connection between these three cases has been ruled out for the time being, as reported by El Mundo.

Investigators are currently gathering information to clarify the causes of these deaths. In the case of Veguellina, relevant inquiries have been initiated to determine the circumstances surrounding the deaths of both men. Despite the temporal and geographical proximity of the incidents, no link has been established between them.
