A British tourist is fighting for life in intensive care following a hotel fall in the Ibizan party hotspot of San Antonio.
The 24-year-old was rushed to island hospital Can Misses around midnight on Thursday (May 7). Medical sources confirmed he had sustained multiple injuries. One revealed: “He is intensive care. He’s stable but serious. He has multiple traumatic injuries.” The hotel where the incident took place has not been identified.
A source close to the probe said: “It is too early at this stage to say what exactly happened. It is something police are still looking into.” The incident is believed to be the first of its kind so far this year involving a British tourist in Ibiza.
In August last year a 22-year-old British tourist was seriously injured after plunging from the third-floor of his hotel in San Antonio. It happened at the Marco Polo Hotel in the party resort which made headlines in June last year after it was at the centre of a poolside brawl involving English footballer Kian Harratt.
San Antonio came under the spotlight last summer following a number of tourist deaths in hotel plunges.
Dundee-born ice hockey star Gary Kelly, 19, died at four-star Ibiza Rocks Hotel when he fell from a third-floor balcony on July 21 in an incident which the Civil Guard described as an accident.
On July 7 last year Ewan Thomson, 26, from Aberdeen, fell to his death at the same hotel, with his sister Teila claiming afterwards: “Once it did happen, the h The hotel’s response was utterly heart-wrenching; almost as if it never happened.”
Meanwhile, a British tourist was rushed to hospital after falling from the second floor of his Lanzarote hotel into a knee-deep fish pond filled with Koi carp and terrapins last month.
Firefighters and medical staff were to rescue the holidaymaker after the incident at the five-star H10 Rubicon Horizons Collection in the popular resort of Playa Blanca.
