Beloved British podcaster dies in Madrid balcony fall
The young Manchester woman was on a working holiday in Spain
Tributes have been pouring in for a well-known British podcaster who died after plunging from a hotel balcony in the Spanish capital last week.
Eden Young, from Manchester, ran a popular feminist show called Polyester Podcast and travelled to Madrid with a pal to attend a music festival before she “tragically fell to her death.”
The young woman’s devastated family have set up a GoFundMe to help return her body to the UK, which has already raised more than 20,000 euros.
Her relatives said: "Eden was in Madrid preparing to do some press work for her company Polyester, a company she absolutely adored working for, at a festival she had revisited for years with her closest friends.
"A few days before the festival took place Eden accidentally fell to her death from the accommodation she was staying at.
"This news saddens us all close to Eden more than words can comprehend right now.
"Due to the circumstances of Eden’s death, we are having to pay to fly her body home from Spain to be with us so we can give her the send-off we know she would want and more than deserves."
Paying their own tribute to Eden, the Briton’s company Polyester Zine described her as the biggest legend and the most loyal person, a funny and smart woman loved by all who knew her.
"Having her on the team was the greatest privilege in the world," they added.
After Eden’s untimely death on Thursday June 8, her family confirmed that charity Jack The Lad is supporting them at this difficult time.
