Spanish Police Close British Father’s Benidorm Death Case as Accident Amid Family Dispute

Nathan Osman, a 30-year-old father of four from Pontypridd, Wales, was found dead at the foot of a remote cliff near Benidorm less than 24 hours after arriving for a holiday in September 2024. Spanish police initially closed a homicide investigation into his death, ruling it an accident, despite the family's dissatisfaction and evidence suggesting he may have been abducted, robbed, and taken to the location where his body was found. The family uncovered attempts to use his bank card after his death and compiled CCTV footage tracking his movements, but they believe Spanish authorities conducted minimal investigation based on assumptions rather than hard facts. After the family urged authorities, the case was reopened in May 2025 but was again closed with the same accidental death conclusion, leading the family to vow to continue seeking justice. Nathan's brother, Lee Evans, criticized the police for the lack of thorough investigation and expressed frustration that Nathan has not been given any thought or justice. The family is now exploring other legal avenues and connecting with other families facing similar overseas deaths in their quest to uncover the truth.
