25 year old British woman, named with the intials J.T., has fallen to her death from a hotel on Ibiza. It happened at 7am on Saturday when the victim was chatting with another woman on the adjoining third floor balcony and, for reasons which are still being investigated, lost her balance and fell to the street below, according to the Local Police in Sant Antoni.
The emergency services sent an ambulance to the scene, the Hotel Galera, in the central Calle Camí General. They found the victim with multiple injuries and she had suffered a heart attack. Attempts to reanimate her continued for 20 minutes but proved unsuccessful.
The police says that witnesses have indicated that the woman was not trying to cross to the other balcony, as in the often reported practice of ‘balconing’.
The Judicial Police of the Guardia Civil has taken over the investigation. They say one possibility is that the woman could have fallen over the balcony as she was leaning backwards as it is reported that she was having an argument with the occupants in the room above.
