THE mum of a Brit who was found dead in Spain is demanding answers over her son’s death amid fears he may have been murdered.
Heartbroken Sandra Adams believes Brett Dryden, 35, was killed after he was found with a four-inch gash to his head.
Cops say Brett died of natural causes despite pleas from Sandra to investigate the case further to reveal what she believes may be the truth.
A grieving Sandra, who returned to the spot where her son’s body was discovered this week, now claims the case could be a major police cover-up.
Brett, 35, had lived in the small town of Mojacar, in Andalusia, for five years while running a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House.
The father-of-one was found dead in his resort home on the Costa Almeria on July 22 of last year.
His friends allege police officers initially told them Brett was killed in a “violent murder” due to an axe attack.
A post-mortem later pinned his passing on a blood clot in his lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism.
There has been no reference to any attack on Brett since from any official.
But Sandra believes the swift decision to label Brett’s death as non suspicious could point towards a wider issue in Spain.
Sandra shared with The Mirror during the week of her son’s 36th birthday that while they were in Spain, people approached them asking about the incident as many were still unaware of what had occurred.
“One of Brett’s neighbours pulled us and said ‘it’s disgusting. They’re clearly trying to cover something up’.
“There was another woman who lived in Brett’s street who pulled us and asked what had happened. I told her ‘it wasn’t an accident’.”
She added that being back in Brett’s home town was “soul destroying”.
While in the resort town, Sandra has been trying to speak with police about the case.
But they have simply refused to answer questions over Brett’s tragic death and told Sandra to phone up if she has any issues, the mum claims.
She had planned to hold a protest along with her husband – Brett’s stepdad – and dozens of family and friends out in Spain.
Their hopes were quickly extinguished after cops said any demonstration without proper authorisation is illegal.
Despite feeling a lack of support from most officers, Sandra did acknowledge and appreciate the kindness and understanding shown by the local police captain towards her family.
The case is still ongoing with cops yet to comment on it publicly.
However, a court spokesman has previously stated: “The investigation hasn’t been suspended or closed.
“It is still open and this incident remains under investigation.”
The authorities are still said to be waiting for the Spanish Civil Guard to hand over a full report on the case.
Unanswered questions
A number of eerie things happened around Brett’s death that clearly point to the involvement of other people, Sandra believes.
Neighbours told Robert they had CCTV footage of three men running away from Brett’s home on the night he died.
Sandra also says she received a call from her son’s phone hours after medics say he died.
After tracking the mobile, the heartbroken mum found it was being turned on and off and darting from different locations across Spain.
Sandra said she informed cops about what she had found which made her believe it could have been a murder.
But, she says she was told to “‘take a step back” to allow for a police investigation to take place.
Brett’s body was allowed to be taken back to Britain where the family conducted an autopsy but the results were inconclusive.
