It's March 27th. This is Birmingham News Today, AI-powered stories from your city. I'm Cory with the Story. Funeral arrangements are now set for Jimmy Gracie, the 20-year-old University of Alabama student whose body was recovered from the senior, Barcelona during a trip there. Services will take place next week in his hometown of Elmhurst, Illinois at Visitation Catholic Church, handled by Gibbons Funeral Home. A visitation for family and friends runs Monday from noon to 8 p.m. with a prayer service at 7.30 p.m. that will be live-streamed. The next day, a massive Christian burial starts at 9.30 a.m., also streamed live, followed by burial at Mount Carmel Catholic Cemetery in Hillside, Illinois. Gracie leaves behind his parents, Teresa and Torres, siblings Mary, Tommy, Joe, and Matthew, plus grandparents and Godparents. His family highlighted his strong faith, loyalty as a friend and teammate, and the deep support they felt from the community since his.
Disappearance shook so many lives. An early medical exam in Catalonia points to drowning as the cause, with bruises from rocks suggesting he was in the water for days. Spanish police see no signs of foul play and call it a tragic accident, backed by security footage showing him heading alone toward the water before, falling in. While official autopsy results are pending to check for alcohol or other substances, investigators are still piecing together details like who he. Spoke to outside a nightclub, and how his phone ended up with a local man who said he found it on the beach, updates will follow as the case develops.
