A 28-year-old British tourist has died after falling 15 feet from a hotel on the island of Majorca.

The accident occurred in the early hours of Saturday morning after the man and his girlfriend returned to their accommodation after a night out partying.

The young man fell over a wall by the hotel entrance and landed on the ground next to the hotel’s spa pool.

The alarm was raised around 7am at the four-star Reverence Mare Hotel in Palmanova near Magaluf.

Paramedics were called to the hotel, but local reports claim the man was already dead by the time they arrived at the scene.

The girlfriend of the deceased had witnessed the tragic accident, and had to be treated for an anxiety attack later in the day.

The Civil Guard is leading an ongoing investigation into the incident.

It’s the second time this summer that a British tourist has suffered a dangerous fall on the island of Majorca.

In early July, a 43-year-old man was left “seriously injured” as he landed on his head in broad daylight after a row with friends.

According to The Sun, the man was rushed to Son Espases Hospital in the island capital Palma to undergo emergency help.

Shocked witnesses and hotel staff who saw the fall were the first to contact the emergency services.

Local police investigating the incident stated that it wasn’t clear if the British man was on holiday with friends and family or if he was staying at the resort alone.
