A 25-year-old British tourist died today after falling from the balcony of the fourth-floor bedroom of the hotel where she was staying in the Ibizan town of Sant Antoni de Portmany.
The accident occurred around 7am when the young woman was chatting with another woman on an adjacent balcony and, for reasons that are being investigated, she lost her balance and fell to the street below.
An ambulance was called to the Hotel Galera on Calle Camí, where the victim was found with multiple bruising and in cardiopulmonary arrest, but the paramedics' attempts to revive her failed.
Initial police reports suggest that she was not trying to go from one balcony to another, as has been the case with other recent tourist deaths in Spain's holiday hotspots.
A MAN declared dead at his home in the province of Tarragona was on his way to the funeral parlour when he turned out to be alive, according to police sources.
A NEW child protection law named after a British musician living in Spain has been approved in Congress and is set to be signed off by the Council of Ministers on Tuesday, June 8.
