The son of a billionaire fashion mogul whose clothing company sells apparel across the United States was heard tearfully telling cops his dad had “fallen” in a 911 call released Monday.
“I need help, my father has fallen!” Jonathan Andic is heard in audio obtained by the Spanish outlet El País. “We are in Collbató, he has fallen down a ravine, please send an ambulance, send someone,” according to a translation from Spanish.
Andic, who is the son of the late fashion mogul Isak Andic, tells the operator that they’re on their way to the Salnitre Caves, and as the operator asks him more questions, Jonathan says, “I don’t see him, he doesn’t answer.”
Isak Andic, 71, was hiking with his son in the mountains near Barcelona when he fell about 500 feet down a cliff and died in December 2024. His 45-year-old son was the only witness. Jonathan was arrested in May as authorities announced they were investigating Isak’s death as a possible homicide.
