Dad, 30, on first holiday away with friends found dead at bottom of cliff in Benidorm

A man described as an 'incredible father' was tragically found dead at the bottom of cliff in Benidorm.

Nathan Osman's body was found by a police officer on September 29. The discovery occurred the day after Mr Osman, of Pontypridd, Wales, and who was a father to four, was reported missing during what was his very first holiday with mates.

Opening an inquest at Pontypridd Coroners' Court this Monday, October 14, Senior Coroner Graeme Hughes was told of the horrific injuries Mr Osman suffered after falling down the 200-metre cliff on the Spanish island. The court heard how the 30-year-old had been enjoying a long weekend away and had been out drinking with friends before they became separated.

Mr Hughes told the brief hearing on Monday he had reason to suspect Mr Osman’s death was violent in that he received traumatic injuries from a fall.

While the full inquest into Mr Osman's passing has been postponed pending further investigation, and no future date specified, there's anticipation of potential delays given that the incident took place overseas. Mr Hughes extended his heartfelt sympathies to Mr Osman's bereaved family and friends, reports Wales Online.
