Ousby’s father John told the Evening Standard: “We have been waiting two years for answers.”

Police say the death was an accident, but Ousby’s family believe it was suspicious.

“We believe Tom could have been murdered but, for whatever reason, the Spanish police have overlooked some key evidence. We just hope the coroner will have their own doubts and ask police here to finally investigate,” Ousby’s father said.

Tests found no drugs in his body and hotel staff said they saw him running away from someone shortly before he died.
