Mother Believes Son Murdered in Spain, Despite Police Claiming Natural Causes
Sandra Adams, 56, is convinced her son Brett Dryden, 35, was murdered in Spain, contrary to the police’s claim that his death was due to natural causes. The grief-stricken mother has launched her own investigation, fuelled by a series of events she deems suspicious.
A Controversial Cause of Death
Brett Dryden, who lived in Mojacar, a small town in Andalusia, Spain, had been running a legal cannabis club called The Dawg House for five years. On July 22, he was found dead in his home on the Costa Almeria. Initially, a post-mortem examination in Spain indicated a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lungs, as the cause of death.
Mother’s Case for Murder
Sandra Adams, Brett’s mother, vehemently disputes this conclusion. She believes that the Spanish police are covering up the true circumstances of her son’s death. Adams asserts that her 5’5″ son was likely “quickly” killed by someone he knew.
Sandra told the Mirror, “I just want justice for my son. I will not rest until I get justice.” According to Adams, her husband Rob received a call from a friend stating that Brett had been found dead in his house, with blood splattered on the walls. Witnesses claimed the Spanish police initially suggested a violent murder scenario involving an axe.
Suspicious Circumstances
Adams points to several suspicious events surrounding her son’s death. Neighbors reported that they had CCTV footage showing three men running away from Brett’s home on the night of his death. Sandra also claims that she received calls from her son’s phone hours after medical professionals pronounced him dead. Tracking the handset, she found it being turned on and off at various locations across Spain.
Adams reported her suspicions to Spanish police, but her claims were dismissed. She and her husband were told to “take a step back and let us deal with it now.” Despite their repeated calls, Spanish police have not provided regular updates on the investigation.

Further Investigation
Adams brought her son’s body back to Britain to undergo a second, more extensive autopsy. Unfortunately, the results were inconclusive. Despite these efforts, Spanish police have not provided a full account of the investigation. Adding to her frustration, Adams and her husband Rob have tried to engage the Guardia Nationale in Spain with little response.
A court spokesman did confirm that the investigation is ongoing, with Spanish police awaiting the full report from the Civil Guard. However, the lack of clear communication and apparent lack of actionable steps have left Sandra and Rob feeling increasingly isolated and frustrated.
