All the indications are that 54 year old Manuel Millón committed suicude. His body was found below the Balcón de Europa viewpoint.
54 year old Manuel Millón, the Jefe de Gabinete, the secretary for PP mayor of Nerja, has been found shot dead below the viewpoint, Balcon de Europa. Reports speak of one bullet wound in the forehead. The Civil Guard was called to the scene at the Balcón just after 7am, and their first hypothesis is that is a possible suicide.
The zone was closed off and access to the Balcon de Europa Hotel was blocked for a time.

Witnesses say that Manuel Millón was seen walking down Calle Pintada to the Balcón with his head streaming blood. He appears to have shot himself in the Partido Popular headquarters in that street and then walked down to the Balcón de Europa where he threw himself down a 20 metre drop.

The 54 year old was a teacher at a college in nearby Torrox, and have been in Nerja Town Hall for more than ten years. He was married with two children. Locals describe him as a well known and well educated man who had done a great deal for Nerja.
