Reports from local media in Mallorca indicate the unfortunate demise of a British visitor who fell from a hotel in the Spanish island.
In the western tourist spot of Palma Nova, the body of a 28-year-old man was discovered near the spa area of the Reverence Mare hotel. He had fallen a distance of 15ft.
The pool cleaner made the grim discovery at approximately 7am, finding the man lying face down on the ground. This incident was reported by Ultima Hora.
Emergency services were summoned to the hotel before noon after the man’s partner experienced an acute episode of distress and needed urgent medical assistance.
Authorities speculate that the man’s fall was accidental and may have occurred following revelry the previous night. A thorough investigation is currently underway.
It remains uncertain whether the deceased was a guest at the hotel.
Staff members at the hotel mentioned that they had passed by the pool area at around 2am and did not notice the man, indicating that the incident likely took place between that time and 7am, as reported by the local news source Cronica Balear.
The man’s body has been transferred to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Palma for further examination through an autopsy.
