The Mossos search the sea for the rugby player who disappeared in Barcelona seven months ago

Levi Davis, a British rugby player, disappeared in Barcelona on October 30, 2022. The last time he was seen was at the Hard Rock Café and then at an Irish pub on La Rambla. Security cameras captured how the young man left the establishment. He was going alone. From there, he lost track of her. Since then his whereabouts have been unknown, although, after several months of investigation, the Mossos d'Esquadra believe that Davis drowned at sea and that his death was not of criminal origin.

This Thursday, the maritime police of the Mossos and the underwater unit have searched the port of Barcelona and the Llobregat delta in search of the athlete's body. All the clues collected so far point to Davis drowning in the port. Davis' mobile phone last gave a signal “at the end of the port closest to the entrance to the sea”, and the port police found Davis's passport in the port two weeks after his disappearance.

In addition, in the early morning of October 30, four people spotted a person asking for help in English in the sea. He was dressed in a white T-shirt, like Davis himself. Around half past six, a crew member of an MSC cruise alerted that he had seen a person in the water. At first they thought it was a passenger who might have fallen into the sea. They threw a lifebuoy with a light signal, but no one picked it up. The Civil Guard deployed a device that was aborted in the middle of the afternoon, convinced that no one had fallen into the water. The company counted the passengers and verified that the alarm on the sensor that detects falls from the boat was not activated. After that, the search operation was lifted.

At the time of his disappearance, Davis was going through a difficult time. He had problems with alcohol and drugs and his sports performance had suffered. He was a player for the Bath rugby union team in the British second division. In 2019 he participated in the television program for celebrities Celebrity X Factor, where he came in a sad fifth place that left a bad taste in his mouth; the following year he participated in the Celebs Go Dating (The famous are going to flirt). A few days ago he had published his first song on Spotify, With me, and had posted his first video on Only Fans, a social network with exclusive content for subscribers, mainly pornographic videos.

The family of the disappeared person was placed in the hands of a group of detectives, very popular in the United Kingdom, but who were fired a few months after linking the disappearance with a kidnapping or a debt owed to a Somali mafia.
