British Thrill-Seeker's Fatal Fall from Spain's Tallest Bridge Investigated

Lewis Stevenson, 26, died in October while climbing the Castilla-La Mancha bridge without safety equipment to create social media content.

Lewis Stevenson, a 26-year-old British adventurer, died on October 13 from blunt force head injuries after falling 630 feet from Spain's Castilla-La Mancha bridge.
The inquest into his death was opened at Derby Coroner’s Court on December 3, with further investigations pending before a final hearing.
Stevenson, described as a passionate photographer and thrill-seeker, was reportedly creating social media content at the time of the fall, despite climbing the bridge being strictly prohibited.
His family emphasized that he pursued his climbing adventures out of passion rather than for financial gain or social media influence.
Spanish officials are exploring measures to prevent unauthorized climbing on the bridge, which spans the Tagus River and has been Spain's tallest since its opening in 2011.
