Family Demands Answers Over Mysterious Death of British Tourist in Benidorm

Nathan Osman, a 30-year-old father of four from Pontypridd, Wales, lost his life tragically while on vacation in Benidorm, Spain, last September. Mere hours after arriving and reconnecting with friends, he fell from a remote cliff on the outskirts of town, plunging around 200 metres to his death.

Despite hearing the circumstances during an earlier inquest, Mr Osman's family insists there is much still unanswered. They question why Spanish authorities have seemingly overlooked suspicious activity involving attempts to use Nathan's bank cards after his death. His family has repeatedly sought clarity, but they claim Spanish officials have not communicated clearly or thoroughly investigated the incident.

Nathan's siblings, Lee Evans and Alannah Osman, have now flown to Benidorm with the intention of handing police evidence they themselves collected regarding Nathan's final movements. Their efforts, conducted independently, established that Nathan had engaged in a video call with a friend shortly before his phone died, and CCTV footage showed him walking along a promenade in apparently good condition, suggesting he was neither significantly intoxicated nor distressed at that time.

However, important CCTV footage that could clarify events remains inaccessible. Owners of businesses nearby have refused to share their recordings unless explicitly requested to do so by official Spanish authorities. Nathan's family feel abandoned and frustrated by what they perceive as inadequate action on the part of local law enforcement.

Lee Evans emphasized to the BBC that his brother had no logical reason to visit the remote area where his body was discovered, a region located about an hour's walk away from his hotel and in the opposite direction. He suspects Nathan was likely taken there by vehicle or possibly even against his will. After making inquiries themselves, Nathan's sister Alannah described receiving an effectively "empty" police file indicating the case had already been closed.

Expressing a sense of profound frustration and sorrow, Nathan Osman's parents, Jonathan and Elizabeth, have spoken passionately about the situation. Jonathan criticized authorities for neglecting the investigation, asserting that their failure represented total disregard for his son's life. Elizabeth, meanwhile, described the anguish of uncertainty about Nathan's final hours as a tormenting nightmare for their family.

Nathan's relatives have created a fundraiser aimed at bringing his remains home to Wales for a proper funeral. Meanwhile, a spokesperson from the British Foreign Office assured they are supporting Nathan’s family and maintaining ongoing contact with local Spanish authorities regarding the circumstances of his death.
