The death of British man Andrew Donald Frederick in Grenada is now being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, after his family commissioned an independent pathologist who ruled the death a homicide involving torture, contradicting local authorities' initial finding that it was accidental. The case has raised concerns about the level of support British nationals' families receive from UK authorities when a death occurs abroad, with the family accusing the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) of failing to act despite being presented with medical evidence.

Frederick, 47, was found dead at his home in Grenada on 4 January this year, and his body was repatriated after local police deemed the death accidental. His family, dissatisfied with the investigation, hired a forensic pathologist and a private investigator, and the pathologist concluded he had been tortured and killed. A West London coroner's hearing this week confirmed the Met is now investigating, while the family criticised the FCDO for allegedly declining to refer the case to its murder and manslaughter team despite the post-mortem findings, with the charity Murdered Abroad noting that around 60-80 British nationals are killed abroad annually.
