Spanish authorities investigating the death of 20-year-old University of Alabama student James “Jimmy” Gracey who vanished after a night out with friends while on spring break in Barcelona are not currently pursuing criminal charges as officials await final toxicology results following a preliminary autopsy.

Officials shared an update on the case with Fox News Digital on Monday, the same day mourners gathered for a memorial mass for Gracey near his hometown in Chicago.

Mourners arrived Monday at the Church of the Holy Family in Chicago in memory of Gracey, who disappeared in Barcelona early Tuesday, March 17.

He had been partying in the city’s popular Shoko nightclub before disappearing. On Thursday, authorities pulled his body from the water in a nearby marina located just 500 feet away.

A preliminary autopsy pointed to Gracey’s death as likely due to an accident and did not show signs the college junior sustained any injuries leading up to his disappearance, according to local police.

“Everything points to an accidental death, although we are not disclosing details regarding how the events unfolded,” a spokesperson for the Mossos d’Esquadra, the regional Catalan police, previously said.

Given the findings, authorities have chosen not to pursue charges against any individuals in connection with Gracey’s death, a spokesperson for the Catalan High Court told Fox News Digital.

However, officials added that the investigation remains ongoing until a definite report and toxicology screening is submitted to the court – a process that could take up to three weeks.
