A British tourist has died after plunging “by accident” from the sixth floor of a hotel in Ibiza.

Paramedics rushed to the hotel on the Balearic island but could do nothing to save the 19-year-old due to the extent of her injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene. 

The harrowing incident happened around 3am local time on August 20 at a seafront four-star adult-only hotel in the party resort of San Antonio called Hotel Vibra District.

The Civil Guard were continuing to investigate this morning and an autopsy has yet to take place.

A spokesman for the force said: “I can confirm a 19-year-old British tourist has died following a fall at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.”

A well-placed police source added: “Everything is pointing to this being a tragic accidental fall.”

This incident happened just days after a 28-year-old British holidaymaker died in a 15ft fall at a hotel in Palmanova, near Magaluf in Majorca, after a night out partying.  

The fatal fall happened on Saturday morning at the four-star Reverence Mare Hotel. 

The dead man’s partner had to be treated for a panic attack later in the day.

The alarm was raised around 7am local time on Saturday, although the holidaymaker is believed to have fallen to his death several hours earlier.

Civil Guard investigators believe he suffered his fatal accident after trying to enter the wrong hotel following a night out partying and losing his way during an attempted shortcut.
