Barcelona, Spain (CNN) — James “Jimmy” Gracey, an American college student reported missing in Spain earlier this week, has been found dead, a spokesperson for the Barcelona police told CNN. He was reported missing after he failed to return that morning to his short-term rental, his family said. The employees also said friends of Gracey went to the nightclub in the last few days, trying to get more information. At the University of Alabama, James Gracey was an honors student in the accounting program, his aunt Beth Marren O’Reilly told CNN. Last year, another US college student went missing while on spring break.
