Overview

  • Nathan Osman, a 30-year-old father of four, was found dead at the base of a 600ft cliff in Benidorm in September 2024, initially deemed an accident or suicide by local police.
  • Spanish prosecutors now strongly believe foul play was involved and have reopened the case as a potential homicide after reviewing a detailed dossier compiled by Osman’s family.
  • The family’s evidence includes CCTV footage, banking anomalies, and the improbability of Osman reaching the remote cliff on foot, suggesting he may have been taken there against his will.
  • Additional suspicions arose from attempted bank card use hours after Osman’s death and the disappearance of his valuables, except for a damaged phone.
  • The UK Foreign Office and local MP Alex Davies-Jones are supporting the family, highlighting broader calls for improved assistance for British nationals’ families navigating overseas investigations.
