Spanish third-tier side Cordoba FC confirmed the body found on Monday was that of 18-year-old Alvaro Prieto. A Spanish TV crew doing a live report on the missing man filmed the horror moment part of his body, with the white trainers and beige trousers he was wearing when he vanished, could be seen trapped between two carriages on a moving train coming into Seville’s main railway station.Spanish state broadcaster TVE subsequently made a grovelling apology for screening the images instead of interrupting the live signal after it emerged it was Prieto’s body.The teenager vanished on Thursday morning after being asked to leave a train he was trying to catch so he could return to his home city of Cordoba.The engineering student, leading goalscorer this season for Cordoba FC’s youth team, had been out partying with friends in Seville and missed the 7.20am train he was due to return home on and had already paid for.
