Emma Ramsay was staying in the San Antonio area of Ibiza when she is believed to have fallen from the sixth floor balcony of a hotel.
The 19-year-old from Scotland had shared pictures of herself enjoying her holiday just hours before the tragic accident.

Her mother Barbara shared a tribute to her daughter on social media, calling her “an absolute angel” and describing her as “my best friend in the whole world”.
“I am going to miss you more than words will ever express. Rest in peace my sweet angel and sleep tight mummy loves you so so much,” she added in the touching statement.

A spokesperson for the university said: “Emma was a much-loved member of our student community and we are shocked and saddened by her death.
