Investigators are exploring whether 20-year-old Jimmey Gracey, a University of Alabama student who was found dead in Spain<\/a>, may have been drugged before ending up in the water, as authorities work to determine whether his death was accidental or the result of foul play.<\/p>\n

“They\u2019re going to want to determine whether this was something nefarious or something innocent,” retired detective Brian Foley said Sunday on “Fox & Friends Weekend<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Foley, a former chief of detectives with the Hartford Police Department, said investigators will examine toxicology results, surveillance footage and witness accounts as they piece together what happened to Gracey.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old disappeared on March 17 while in Barcelona<\/a>. His body was later recovered in the water in Port Ol\u00edmpic.<\/p>\n

Reports suggest authorities have not ruled out the possibility that Gracey may have been drugged before entering the water \u2014 a key question that could shape the direction of the investigation.<\/p>\n

“Toxicology is going to take a little while, usually around a regular case, three to six weeks, but the cops are going to get a look at toxicology, usually within a week or so,” Foley explained.<\/p>\n

“Ketamine or ketamine-like drugs<\/a> will stay in your system. It’s detectable to a medical examiner in the blood, in the liver and in the eyes, and, if it’s in the system, they’ll be able to determine that.”<\/p>\n

Alcohol levels should also be determined early in the examination, he added.<\/p>\n

“They should be able to determine that pretty early, get that information to the cops pretty early,” he said.<\/p>\n

Foley also pushed back on concerns about the overseas investigation, saying Spanish authorities<\/a> are “equal to anything that we have” in the United States.<\/p>\n

“So let me tell you, Barcelona is equal to anything that we have. Spain, as a whole, is equal anything we have here, as is Barcelona. So there’s no real loss there. It’s the same kind of system, medical examiners and everything,” Foley said.<\/p>\n

Gracey, a University of Alabama junior, vanished around 3 a.m. after visiting the waterfront Shoko restaurant and nightclub.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His mother, Therese, said her son “was with friends, but they got separated<\/a> at the end of the night.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
