Overview
- Harry Begg, 19, died at the scene on December 1 in Arona, Tenerife, after what family reports describe as an alleged targeted hit-and-run while he rode an electric bike.
- His mother says she learned just hours before the January 6 funeral in Anfield that Spanish authorities had retained his heart, and he was buried without it after paperwork delays pushed burial by two days.
- Spanish investigators have described the case as a 'criminal death' and told the family the heart is being preserved for further testing as the probe continues.
- The family says police in Spain reported having two eyewitness statements, but they remain frustrated by limited communication and a lack of visible progress.
- The Liverpool and Wirral coroner’s office was notified on December 31, and Merseyside Police say they have been in contact with the family to offer support while jurisdiction remains with Spain.
