A man from the UK was discovered deceased in a Benidorm medical facility following a tragic incident. Pete Jackson, aged 54, reportedly suffocated after becoming stuck in a space filled with electric wires between a patio wall and a metal platform. Authorities suggest that the expatriate may have encountered difficulties while trying to retrieve personal items, ultimately ending up trapped upside down with no means of escape.
The news of his passing surfaced last week when his wife, Shirley Ebbs, shared the heartbreaking information, with distressing details of the event unfolding today. Reports from the time of his disappearance indicated that Pete had been residing and working in Benidorm for nearly three years. He had discharged himself from the Benidorm hospital where he was found lifeless on February 7 while still under medication.
Today, a reputable publication in Costa Blanca, Informacion, revealed that Mr. Jackson was located within the hospital premises, despite earlier sightings of him leaving. Prior to the discovery of his body, an online missing persons poster mentioned that Pete was last seen departing IMED Levante Hospital in Benidorm on his way home. Concerns were raised as he seemed frail and disoriented, behaviors considered out of character for him, as he had always maintained contact with his family.
Initial police speculations of electrocution due to his proximity to cables were refuted by the autopsy results, which confirmed death by suffocation. Local media reported that his wife visited the hospital after work and raised the alarm upon finding his room empty. An initial search yielded no clues to his whereabouts until his body was located on the sixth floor of the hospital.
In a Facebook post, Shirley shared the heartbreaking news of Pete’s discovery, expressing gratitude to all who assisted in the search and provided support during the challenging period. A friend also conveyed Shirley’s appreciation for the help and urged everyone to keep Pete Jackson’s family in their thoughts and respect their privacy at this time.
