Police recovered the body of the 20-year-old University of Alabama student in the water between the sailboat on the left and the floating blue dock on the right around 7:15 p.m. local time.
Gracey was last seen alive around 3 a.m. on Tuesday at Shoko, a waterfront nightclub just 500 feet away.

How did he end up in the water?
Was he alone at the time?
How did someone end up arrested with his phone?
Was anything missing from his wallet?

Michael Ruiz is a reporter I trust. He posted this. Some accts are stating a body has been found but they’re all in Spanish and I’m not sure that is verified information or not. But they may have a strong lead. Prayers for the Gracey family. I cannot imagine.

🚨 HAPPENING NOW: It's after sunset in Barcelona. Police have set up a blue screen on the dock at Port Olimpic, near club Shoko, where Jimmy Gracey was last seen, Fox News Digital can confirm. Investigators are currently examining what appears to be a loaded body bag on the dock. We saw divers go into the water around 7:05 p.m. local time and return to the dock with a body bag 10 minutes later. Mossos d'Esquadra, the Catalan regional police force leading the investigation into the University of Alabama student's disappearance, said in a statement moments ago that they've recovered unidentified human remains. They are currently working to identify the victim. Separately, the Gracey family just sent this statement, to Fox News' @PMcGovernTV: "We are so grateful for the kindness and concern that has been shown for our family during this incredibly difficult time. We have made the decision to pause media interviews at this time to focus on being together and caring for one another. Thank you for respecting our privacy and holding our family in your thoughts and prayers. We will share updates if and when we’re able."

🚨🚨🚨NEW: A potential drowning is among the lines of investigation Catalan police are pursuing in the disappearance of University of Alabama student Jimmy Gracey during his spring break trip to Barcelona in Spain.
The Illinois native was last seen around 3 a.m. Tuesday at Shoko, a world-famous waterfront nightclub.
On Wednesday, Mossos d’Esquadra activated helicopter and marine units. Today, they rolled out motorcycle patrols and dive teams.
Conditions in the water are making the search especially difficult. Divers involved in the operation told Fox News Digital Thursday they were working under extremely poor visibility, saying they can see only about 40 centimeters — roughly 16 inches — in front of them.
Officials have declined to confirm or deny key details that have surfaced in local reporting, including whether Gracey’s phone or wallet has been recovered or whether any arrests have been made.
The family told Fox News Digital previously that his phone had been recovered during the arrest of a third-party individual, but it’s not immediately clear that his possession of Gracey’s phone is connected to the disappearance.
A potential drowning is just one hypotheses from investigators. Police have declined to give specifics on the others, telling Fox News Digital they don't want to compromise the investigation.
