Family Cites New Phone Data in Benidorm Cliff Death, Presses Case for Foul Play

Spanish authorities say the case is under judicial review, with South Wales Police conducting enquiries for the coroner.

Overview

  • Nathan Osman, 30, was found at the base of a 200m cliff in September 2024, and a post-mortem recorded head and abdominal injuries from a fall.
  • The family says health-app data from his recovered phone shows a pace incompatible with walking to the remote site, indicating he was likely in a vehicle.
  • Phone metrics also led relatives to conclude he died roughly 30 minutes after his last CCTV sighting in the early hours.
  • Relatives have mapped 27 potential CCTV sources and report being told many cameras were not working or that footage had already been erased.
  • The death was initially deemed a tragic accident by local police; prosecutors later reopened the case before closing it in September, and a UK family liaison officer is now in place as enquiries continue.
