The Disappearance That Sparked Suspicion

However, the lack of a proper farewell and the subsequent silence raised eyebrows. Fans speculated about his fate, especially after Tracy received a cryptic text from Nate, stating he didn’t want to be contacted. (Express, Digital Spy)

A Chilling Discovery Beneath the Ice

The truth began to surface during a dramatic storyline involving a limo crash on a frozen lake. Amy Wyatt, while attempting to escape the sinking vehicle, fell into the icy waters and made a horrifying discovery: a lifeless body submerged beneath the surface, identifiable only by a distinctive bracelet. This bracelet matched one that Nate had worn, leading to grim speculation. (The Sun)

Amy, suffering from hypothermia, was rushed to the hospital. In her final moments, she tried to convey the discovery to her husband, Matty Barton, whispering “Nate” and “underwater.” Tragically, Matty misunderstood her, and Amy passed away before she could clarify. (Wikipedia, Emmerdale Insider)
