The rescue teams have managed to rescue a woman who was also practicing canyoning with the deceased in perfect condition.
A fourth person had given the notice that the three hikers remained trapped in the torrent, from which they could not get out when they were surprised by the rains that have fallen in the area.
According to sources from the Civil Guard, the events took place early this Monday afternoon, when a person notified the emergency services that a group of people remained trapped in the L'Assarell torrent , where they were practicing canyoning.
The group had been trapped after being surprised by an increase in the flow caused by the rains that have fallen on the island throughout the day.

Upon arrival at the scene, they recovered the lifeless bodies of two of the men, between the ages of 29 and 37, while a third person, a woman who was part of the group, was rescued by the emergency services.
The woman has been transferred by helicopter to the reference hospital of Son Espases in Palma.
