Overview

• Marshall Latham, a retired carpenter from Nantwich, Cheshire, was attacked in Fuerteventura on December 10, 2024, sustaining a traumatic brain injury after an unprovoked punch caused him to fall and hit his head on concrete.
• He underwent extensive medical treatment, including emergency surgeries, in Spain before being repatriated to the UK on March 1, 2025, where he died at Aintree Hospital on March 16.
• Witnesses confirmed the attack was random and unprovoked, with no prior interaction between Latham and the suspect, a 32-year-old British man who was arrested and released on bail.
• An inquest into Latham's death has been opened but is suspended until August while Spanish authorities consider potential criminal charges against the suspect.
• Latham's family and friends have raised over £17,000 through a GoFundMe campaign to cover legal fees and advocate for justice, emphasizing the need for accountability in the case.
