Midnight Walk Ends in Tragic Cliff Fall
18 Aug
Summary
- Man and woman fell from Majorca clifftop during midnight walk.
- Alcohol consumption was a contributing factor to the fatal fall.
- The incident occurred in June 2025 on a Spanish clifftop.
A tragic incident in Majorca, Spain, resulted in the death of Ben Clark, 41, from Andover, Hampshire, in June 2025. Clark fell from a clifftop at Cala Agulla during a midnight walk with Nicky Foers, whom he had met during his holiday. The inquest, held in Winchester, heard testimony that alcohol consumption likely played a role in the accidental fall.
Foers recounted that she stumbled backwards, possibly during an embrace, causing both her and Clark to fall from the cliff. Clark landed on the beach below, sustaining fatal injuries including multiple rib fractures that led to internal bleeding and respiratory failure. The coroner informed Clark's daughter, who was present, that alcohol had been consumed by those involved.
Clark was remembered in court as a beloved family man who adored his children. The circumstances suggest a moment of lost balance on the clifftop, where Clark was looking out to sea and Foers was looking inland, may have led to the fatal event. The investigation concluded that alcohol contributed to the accidental death.
