Spanish Police Close Benidorm Cliff Death Case as Accidental

Relatives plan fresh legal steps following a brief reopening prompted by their evidence.

Overview

  • Police informed the family the investigation has been closed for a second time with a finding that the death was likely accidental.
  • The family rejects the conclusion, citing a self-compiled CCTV timeline, missing valuables, and attempted use of his bank card after his body was found.
  • Prosecutors reopened the case in May after reviewing the family’s material and, according to the relatives, indicated foul play was possible.
  • Nathan Osman was discovered at the base of a remote cliff less than 24 hours after arriving in Benidorm, and his hotel bed was unused the next morning.
  • A UK inquest found traumatic brain injuries consistent with a fall and reported no drugs in his system.
