Harry Begg, a 19-year-old from Kirkby, England, tragically lost his life in an alleged hit and run incident while riding an electric bike in Arona, Tenerife, on December 1, 2025. His mother, Nicola Gardner, has made a heartfelt plea for justice and remembrance, expressing her fears that Harry may be forgotten. Following his death, Nicola learned that Harry's heart was retained by Spanish authorities for further testing as part of a murder investigation, which has not yet resulted in any arrests.
