A British tourist has died after a horror 15ft fall from a hotel in Majorca in front of his girlfriend after a night on the town, according to reports.
The unnamed 28-year-old fell over a wall by the entrance of the four-star Reverence Mare Hotel in Palmanova near Magaluf. He landed on the ground next to the hotel’s spa pool after a night out partying.
The alarm was raised around 7am this morning. The dead man’s partner is said to have had to be treated for an anxiety attack later in the day. Paramedics were called to the hotel around just before midday.
A well-placed source said last night: “We are still awaiting the results of the autopsy. We are treating this as a tragic accident at this stage.”
The Civil Guard is leading an ongoing investigation into the incident. There has not yet been any official comment from the police force.
Earlier this year a British tourist seriously injured in a fall at a Magaluf apartment block lost his balance after getting onto the premises through an unfixed gap in a perimeter fence. The unnamed man was rushed to hospital with "very serious" injuries, including face and head wounds, after the alarm was sounded.
Sources at Son Espases Hospital in Palma, who described him as a 25-year-old, confirmed he was in intensive care with multiple injuries. It was initially believed the plunge victim had been staying at the apartment block - known as the Maria Elena building - near Magaluf’s party strip Punta Ballena and had fallen from a third-storey flat.
