Pontypridd man, 30, died in 200m Benidorm cliff fall

A father-of-four died after falling 200m off a cliff while on holiday with friends in Spain, an inquest has heard.

Nathan Osman, 30, from Pontypridd, Rhondda Cynon Taf, had been on a long weekend in Benidorm.

The opening of his inquest in Pontypridd was told that on 28 September he had been out with friends drinking and had “FaceTimed to say he was going back to the hotel”.

The following day an off-duty police officer on a water bike spotted his body at the bottom of the 650ft cliff.

A post-mortem examination was carried out in Alicante and concluded he died from head and abdominal injuries after falling from height.

The inquest was adjourned until a later date for further investigations to be carried out.

In a tribute after the incident, his family said the death “has left [his partner] Katie and his four children to live the rest of their lives without him”.

The family described him as an “incredible father”, “loyal”, “caring” and “a true friend to anyone that was lucky enough to know him”.

“He was the kindest of souls and his legacy will live on through his four beautiful children,” they added.
