"Zac Brettler's death in November 2019, following a jump from a fifth-floor balcony, has left his family searching for answers amid a flawed investigation by the Metropolitan Police."
"The investigation concluded in 2021 with the Crown Prosecution Service deciding there was insufficient evidence to bring charges for murder and perverting the course of justice."
"The inquest in 2022 ended in an open verdict, with the coroner stating, 'I can't fill in the gaps; I can't speculate. I don't know what happened.'"
In November 2019, Zac Brettler, a 19-year-old, died after jumping from a fifth-floor balcony in London. Friends of the director informed Patrick Radden Keefe about the Brettler family's tragic experience. Zac had been involved with two men who believed he was the son of a Russian oligarch. The investigation by the Metropolitan Police was criticized for its lack of thoroughness, leading to an open verdict in the 2022 inquest. The Brettlers continue to seek answers regarding their son's death and the events leading up to it.
