University of Alabama student James Gracey was alone when he fell to his death, drowning in Barcelona, Spain, according to a report.
Gracey, 20, of Elmhurst, Illinois was captured on CCTV security footage tragically slipping off a rocky cliff into the sea during a trip visiting friends on his spring break, according to a report by the Daily Mail.
The cops earlier Friday announced that there was no foul play in the junior’s death which was believed to be accidental.
The student went missing Tuesday night after he was last seen leaving Shôko nightclub and heading toward a rocky outcrop by the beach around 3 a.m.
Cops said the video confirms he left alone before crossing the beach and falling into the water.
On Thursday, Gracey’s body was found in 13-foot-deep water off Port Olímpic following a frantic search for him that included deep sea divers.
The autopsy results could take weeks to come back, authorities have said.
Gracey’s friends and family have said they are devastated by the loss but celebrated his faith and character.
His grieving girlfriend Kenna Cohen posted on TikTok that she was “forever in debt for having been lucky enough to be loved by the most pure-hearted, sweet, devoted and selfless soul.”
Gracey, who went by the nickname “Jimmy,” was the chaplain of the Alpha Phi Chapter of the Theta Chi Fraternity.
Gracey was “a young man of deep faith” who had a “genuine care for others,” Mike Mayer, the CEO of the fraternity said.
“There are no words to describe the pain of losing our beloved brother, Jimmy,” said Cavin McLay the president of Theta Chi Alpha Phi Chapter.
