## Summary

British father Andrew Frederick, 47, was found dead in his family’s holiday home in Grenada on 4 January. His family disputes the police ruling that he died accidentally after falling from a mezzanine, citing evidence of an assault and prompting a UK investigation into his death.

Visitors nearby reportedly heard cries for help on the night he died, and his family says police dismissed bloody handprints and shoeprints at the scene. A private post-mortem found multiple injuries, including a defensive wound and a missing toenail; Grenadian authorities closed their investigation five months later, while a west London inquest was suspended and Metropolitan Police detectives prepared to travel to Grenada.
