UK tourist, 22, dies in fall from Ibiza hotel
The young victim’s friend has been taken in for questioning by Spanish police
A 22-year-old British holidaymaker died on Friday June 23 when he plunged from the third-floor balcony of his hotel room in Ibiza. The young man and his friend, who has been questioned by the Guardia Civil about the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, were staying at the budget azulLine Hotel Llevant just 200 metres from San Antonio beach and the island’s famous nightlife.
A witness reported that the tourist landed beside a tattoo parlour on the street below and that Guardia Civil officers covered his body with plastic sheeting and cordoned off the street.
A spokesperson from the regional emergency coordination centre explained that they were first notified about the fall at 10.50am: “The calls that came in said a man aged around 20 had plunged from a hotel in San Antonio.
“Police and paramedics were mobilised as part of the emergency response.
“The man had already gone into cardiac arrest by the time the first ambulance arrived.
“Health responders tried to save his life but were unable to do so.”
It is not known whether the victim’s friend is still being questioned by island police, but the Guardia Civil has stated that “the incident is still under investigation. All lines of inquiry are being explored and it is still too early to say exactly what happened.”
Earlier this month a popular British blogger died when she fell from a Madrid balcony. Eden Young, from Manchester, ran a feminist show called Polyester Podcast and travelled to Madrid with a pal to attend a music festival before she “tragically fell to her death.”
