A British man, Lewis Stevenson, tragically died after falling from the Castilla La Mancha bridge in Spain on October 13, 2024. The coroner's inquest, held recently, determined the fall to be accidental.

Stevenson, an experienced free climber, was with a friend attempting to scale the 192m (630ft) bridge, the tallest in Spain, to create content for social media. Both men were without safety equipment.

The inquest record detailed that Stevenson asked his friend to take the lead as he felt unwell and vomited shortly before he fell.
