The authorities are waiting for the post-mortem results to establish his exact cause of death.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was the beating.

I guess he couldn’t handle the beats.
Take your upvote and get out.
Maybe it was the drop.
Local police murder man over music. FTFY
Not the local police.
Not even the main Spanish police (the policía nacional).
The fucking guardia civil.
The military (despite the name) police inherited from Franco's dictatorship and somehow never disbanded.
The ones who attempted a coup back in '81 to bring back the dictatorship.
These ain't your regular local variety pigs.
There's absolutely no reason for them to have been called for a noise complaint.
Something stinks here, even more than the pigs themselves, even if they belong to a particularly stinky breed.
Yup, any time I'm in a Guardia Civil compound I feel like I'm in enemy territory
O_o
To people not versed in Spanish law enforcement that might seem like an unhinged rant, but it's not far off.
To clarify, local (i.e., municipal) police does exist (generally in towns and cities with more than 5,000 citizens), and is usually called guardia urbana, policía local, or policía municipal. These are who you'd call for a noise complaint.
There's also, as I said, the policía nacional and the guardia civil, both operating in the whole country.
And some autonomías (states, if Spain was federal...ish, which it sort of kind of is somewhat supposed to be, in theory, but effectively isn't, in practice) also have their own police force (which doesn't mean the others won't also operate there, of course).
It's a complicated country, mostly because it's really several, held together with duct tape and, occasionally, barbed wire.
Yes to all that. After spending time around Mossos and Guardia Civil, the former have been more pleasant for me personally.
Is there large public demand to disband them?
Only when they've done something naughty (like beating up elderly people trying to vote) and even then it soon fades, but they're unpopular enough in left leaning areas that in Catalunya there's an entire other militarized police force to do their job instead.
Party noises ? On Ibiza ? Hello ?
They took "smack my bitch up" too literally
They asked him to turn it down, but as a dj he was unable to reach the knobs
