Barria’s relatives then confirmed that the remains belonged to the quad biker. They approved the fact by recognizing “a tattoo that appeared in one of those remains”. It indeed was a painful accident for the family to relate. The police authorities conceded that a strong tidal surge on the day of his adventure dragged him out to sea, and he eventually become prey to the predators. 

This theory is backed up by Jose Mazzei, a civil protection official. He mentioned to the Argentinian media, that the 32-year-old probably fell unconscious on the coast after being pushed into the sea by a high tide. This made him an easy target for the sharks. Nonetheless, the remains will undergo DNA testing for final confirmation. It truly was a tragedy in disguise, don’t you agree?
