Tied..

Authorities in Spain are investigating after discovering multiple bodies in the Mediterranean Sea. Police noted that the hands and feet of the bodies had been tied, which indicates that there may have been some sort of struggle.

 Diario de Mallorca reports that boats have found at least five bodies with bound feet and hands since the middle of May. Police believe the victims may be migrants from northern Africa.

Authorities say the migrants could have been tied and thrown into the water during their attempts to cross the border into Europe, and the deaths are being investigated as homicides.

Regional president Marga Prohens said that the unfortunate discoveries highlight "the cruelest side" of the migration route many take between continents.
