A British influencer has died in Spain after falling from one of the country’s tallest bridges, which stands at 192 meters high.

The 26-year-old man was attempting to scale the Puente de Castilla-La Mancha bridge when he unexpectedly fell to his death around 7:15 a.m. on Sunday, October 13.

He was found alongside a shocked 24-year-old British companion.

National police, local firefighters, and paramedics were called to the scene but found the influencer deceased upon arrival.

Authorities have since cordoned off the area where the incident occurred.

A spokesperson for the Spanish Police stated that the investigation is still ongoing.

They shared: “He was about 40 to 50 metres up, around a quarter of the total height of the bridge, when he fell. The reason he fell is not clear and will be investigated by a local court.”

A source close to the investigation said: “Both the de@d man and the companion that survived were climbing without any harnesses or other protection. A passing motorist raised the alarm.

“The other lad was in a state of shock initially and couldn’t even speak. He’s obviously still pretty traumatised but is not at the police station any longer.

“He’s not going to be charged with any crime. Whether the local town hall decides to sanction him for doing something illegal is a decision for them.”
The bridge, located 90 minutes from Madrid, has strict regulations prohibiting the public from climbing the complex structure.

Local councillor Macarena Munoz confirmed that climbing the bridge is “totally banned.”

The influencer has not yet been named to respect his privacy.

On Monday, a meeting of EU foreign ministers reportedly approved a 16th package of sanctions against Russia while saying a swift casefire that favors Moscow will not be accepted.   However, Hungary, whose leader Viktor Orban has remained close to Russian President Vladimir Putin and has persistently complicated EU efforts to support Ukraine, said it will not back further sanctions.   The country’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto also said his country will not agree to a boost in EU military aid as US President Donald Trump continues his push to force Ukraine to agree to a peace deal with Russia.      US officials met their Russian counterparts last week, while Trump and Zelenskyy have embarked on a bitter spat via the media, with the US leader accusing Kyiv of starting the war and questioning the Ukrainian president’s legitimacy.    Trump’s peace plan, which appears designed to illustrate his self-appointed role as a global dealmaker, faces resistance on both sides.       Russia said on Monday that the quick end to the war is “unacceptable”.   A ceasefire without a long-term settlement “is the path to a swift resumption of fighting and a resumption of the conflict with even more serious consequences, including consequences for Russian-US relations,” Moscow’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said, according to the state-run RIA Novosti news agency.      Meanwhile, Ukraine signalled on Sunday that a contentious proposal that would hand Washington $500bn worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals has now been taken off the table, and that talks on a different deal are progressing.   Zelenskyy also told a forum in Kyiv that he would resign his post if that meant peace was achieved.
