Brit Father's Benidorm Fall: New Evidence Fuels Foul Play Fears
1 Dec
Summary
- Family disputes Spanish police's accidental death ruling.
- Phone data suggests victim could not have reached cliff on foot.
- Card usage after death reopened investigation into fall.
The family of Nathan Osman, a British father-of-four from Pontypridd, South Wales, is contesting the conclusion that his death in Benidorm last September was accidental. Osman was discovered at the bottom of a 650ft cliff near the resort. His family's own investigation revealed evidence, including his card being used after his death, leading to the case being reopened despite initial police findings. They have expressed frustration and upset with the Spanish authorities' handling of the investigation.
New evidence, particularly phone data analyzed by the family, indicates that Osman could not have reached the remote cliff on foot. His brother, Lee Evans, stated that the pace data from a health app showed the journey was far quicker than walking would allow, suggesting he arrived by vehicle. This contradicts the initial assessment and raises serious questions about the circumstances surrounding his fall.
The family has also criticized the initial police response and investigative procedures, describing them as inadequate. They noted that no crime scene protocols were followed. The reopening of the case, fueled by the family's persistent efforts, aims to uncover the full truth behind Nathan Osman's tragic death, which occurred while he was on a holiday with friends.
