The body of 30-year-old Nathan Osman is Found at the foot of a remote cliff In the suburbs of Benidorm, he was on vacation with his friends in September.

His family said the attempt to use his bank card was made the day after his death and feared that others would be involved before his death.

Spanish authorities have agreed to meet with Nathan’s family, who do not believe enough investigation into what happened to him.

Nathan’s brother Lee Osman and his sister Alannah flew to Benidorm on Sunday to try to talk directly to the police about the investigation.

“We’re completely abandoned,” Lee said. “Investigate zero, we’re fighting for answers.”

Benidorm police officers did not respond to requests for comment.

Nathan Rhondda Cynon Taf from Pontypridd made the last minute decision to travel to Benidorm with his friends in September 2024.

The devout father arrived on September 27 and after spending time with his friends, he said he would sleep alone because he was tired.

The next morning, he never slept in his bed. Later that day, his body was found at the foot of a cliff by an off-duty policeman on a jet ski.

Lee didn’t think Nathan was heading to the remote area alone in the opposite direction from the hotel and said it would take an hour to get there.

He added that Nathan “has no reason to be there.”

“We firmly believe that he was taken there, whether it was a taxi or against his own will,” Lee said. “Something happened where he was discovered.”

The family said he used Nathan’s bank card the day after his death, but this was not followed by authorities.

Alannah and Lee have also been tracking Nathan’s night sports. They said he had been on video calls with one of his friends until his cell phone battery ran out.

The family conducted their own investigation and found Nathan on public CCTV on the promenade, and they said he was not significantly intoxicated. They have found other venues on CCTV, but said the owners will not pass any recordings without the request of Spanish authorities.

The family said they had tried several times to find out how the investigation into Nathan’s death progressed, but had been silent.

They recently received a police file, which Alannah said was “empty” and the case was described as closed.

Nathan’s mother Elizabeth said Spanish police officers immediately “had no empathy” after their death and claimed they were “treated like dogs.”

Elizabeth said she had to identify her son by showing photos of her tattoos on his torso.

She said that it was torment to not know how he went to remote places.

“Our boys deserve answers, we as a family deserve answers. Nathan is not a drunk, he will go out and forget everything. Nathan is really with it.”

“I don’t know from the last one or two hours before his death, it’s devouring us every day, from the time we go to bed. We live in this nightmare.”

“They did nothing, they did nothing. It was a completely ignorant of his life,” said Nathan’s father, Jonathan.

The family said that due to their frustration, they needed to travel to Benedim and gather information to Nathan when he left his friend and discovered his body.

Spanish authorities have agreed to meet with them and discuss their concerns.

Li said that the family would not give up looking for what happened.

“We’re going to keep going until we figure out why – and how he got up,” he said.

A spokesman for the British Office for Foreign Affairs, Commonwealth and Development said: “We are supporting a family of a British man who died in Spain and contacted local authorities.”
