Details have emerged of Liam Hampson’s final movements following the rugby league player’s tragic death in Spain.
An autopsy has been performed on Hampson, a spokesman for Catalonia’s justice ministry said, declining to release its results for confidentiality reasons.
A local judge assigned to the case and Hampson’s family will receive the report.
As the footballer’s loved ones come to terms with his untimely passing, reports coming out of Barcelona have helped piece together what happened to the holidaying Australian on the night of his death.
Director of Barcelona nightclub Sala Apolo, Albert Guijarro, spoke to Catalan radio station RAC1 to explain how the devastating situation unfolded.
Guijarro explained: “The entire route that Liam took is recorded, step by step.
“From the great room, he leaves through one of the doors and Liam leaves through the emergency door in front of him.
“He hesitates, he is indecisive, he goes to close it because a colleague says something, but continues.
“He goes through another emergency door and goes out to a very large terrace that Apolo has.
“There he goes to urinate, and once he’s done, he realises that all the doors he came out of can’t be opened from the outside.
“Without thinking about it, he jumps a 15 metre wall.”
Gujiarro continued: “That space is where ducts pass. He passes through there, without looking at anything, and falls into the void.”
The nightclub’s director revealed how staff located Hampson’s body and the Queenslander’s remains were found before his friends posted to social media.
Other reports from Spain have been quoted describing the situation as “bad luck” and the likelihood the footy player got lost and wasn’t familiar with the surroundings.
Spain’s TV3 says police are claiming it took so long for Hampson’s body to be found because the area where his body was is not a common access point.
