John Hogan death and obituary, where is his ex-wife Natasha Hogan now?
In August 2006, after an altercation with his ex-wife, John Hogan, a 35-year-old former Bristol tiler, fell from the balcony with his children, Mia, 2, and Liam, 50 feet below. He is said to have passed away today, although there has been no confirmation yet.

The death and obituary of John Hogan
The father who killed his six-year-old by jumping from a fourth-floor hotel balcony in Crete after being released from mental health treatment has yet to be officially declared dead.
Hogan was found not guilty of murder in January last year after the court ruled after a two-day hearing that he had been through ‘an earthquake of madness’ and was not capable of committing a murder.
Hogan attempted suicide four times while in custody, so it was decided to keep him in a mental hospital so he could receive treatment. Hogan’s legal team successfully argued that he had a family history of mental illness and had no intention of killing his children on purpose.
Where is Natasha Hogan, ex-wife of John Hogan, now?
Natasha Visser moved to Australia and started a new life after her husband John Hogan killed their six-year-old son Liam by throwing him off the balcony of the family’s fourth-floor holiday home in Crete in 2006.
Hogan pushed his two-year-old daughter, Mia, off the 50ft balcony before plunging herself, in a devastating family tragedy that has rocked Britain. The accident was survived by Hogan, a tiler, and his daughter Mia.
Later, a Greek court exonerated the crazed father of Liam’s 2008 murder on the grounds of temporary insanity. Natasha, 41, and Hogan, 39, are no longer dating. Reuben, their three-year-old, Mia, Richard Visser and Natasha all live with them in Queensland.
Hogan and Natasha, who live in Bradley Stoke, Bristol, have taken their family on a life-and-death journey to Crete in a bid to save their marriage. Her nine-year-old daughter Mia survived the fall from the balcony of the Petra Mare hotel despite a broken arm.
The Story of John Hogan’s Balcony Death Jump
John Hogan, 37, pushed his daughter Mia, 2, and son Liam, 6, off their fourth-floor hotel balcony before jumping off on his own. Although both Liam and Mia suffered broken bones in the crash in Crete, tragically Liam died in 2006 from a brain injury.
A coroner’s initial ruling that Liam’s death was unlawful was overturned by the High Court because it ignored evidence indicating Hogan was insane at the time of the murder.
A second inquest this week heard alarming new testimony from a British medical examiner who claimed the father may not have been mad when he jumped.
Little Liam’s death was initially ruled an accident by coroner Avon Maria Voisin yesterday, who also determined that Hogan was not crazy and had murdered the child in the wrong way. This increases the likelihood that Hogan, who is currently being treated for mental illness in a facility in Britain, will face criminal charges there.
