British Tourist Dies in Ibiza Hotel Fall, Sparking Investigation

A 19-year-old British tourist has died after falling from the third floor of a hotel in San Antonio, Ibiza. The incident occurred at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel, a four-star establishment. Emergency services were called to the scene, but the young man died instantly. The Civil Guard is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death.

The Civil Guard confirmed the death of the British national, stating that the alarm was raised shortly after midnight. Officers arrived to find the man already deceased. The fall occurred from the third floor to an outdoor area of the hotel. Authorities authorized the removal of the body. Initial information from cameras suggests the fall may have been accidental, but investigators are seeking witnesses and awaiting the results of a post-mortem examination.

The post-mortem will help determine if alcohol or drugs were involved. It is currently unknown whether the teenager was traveling with friends or family, or from which part of the hotel he fell. The hotel has not yet released a statement regarding the incident.

This is not the only recent tragedy involving a British tourist in San Antonio. Last Monday, a 25-year-old British tourist died in hospital from injuries sustained in a fall from a supermarket car park the previous day.

The Ibiza Rocks Hotel was also the site of another death earlier in July. A 26-year-old Scottish holidaymaker, Evan Thomson, died after falling from the hotel on July 7.

Evan Thomson's mother shared the news of his death on social media, expressing her heartbreak. In the aftermath of his death, his family raised concerns about safety at the hotel and criticized the handling of the situation.

Evan's sister questioned the lack of safety precautions at the hotel, given Ibiza's reputation for partying. A friend who was with Evan before his death described the delayed arrival of paramedics and the lack of clear communication from hotel staff.
