A party hotel in Ibiza has suspended its events after a third British tourist died at the venue.
The 19-year-old, who has not been named died in a fall from the third floor of Ibiza Rocks Hotel in San Antonio in the early hours of this morning, according to police.
It comes after Evan Thomson, 26, from Aberdeen, fell and died at the same four-star hotel at a belated birthday celebration last week, on July 7.
And on April 30, a 33-year-old British woman collapsed and died in her room there.
Spanish media reported at the time that the unnamed woman was suffering health problems.
In the latest incident, two ambulances rushed to the hotel after reports the teenager had fallen around 12.30am today.
A spokesperson for the local police said this morning: 'We are investigating the death of a 19-year-old British man at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.
'The alarm was raised around 12.40am this morning.
'Our officers were sent to the scene but the man in question was already dead by the time help arrived.
'The fall was from from the third floor of the hotel to an outside part of the complex.
'Court officials authorised the removal of his body at 2.40am this morning.
'The fall could be accidental based on the early information obtained from cameras but as part of the investigation possible witnesses will need to be located and interviewed.'
'The results of the post-mortem will also be important to the investigation.'
The hotel posted on its social media that they were 'deeply shocked' by the recent incidents at the hotel. More Trending
It added: 'Given the seriousness of the situation and out of respect for those involved, we believe it is right to pause our advertised events programme at this time. All customers will be informed directly via email.'

Airline denies removing 40 children from flight because they were Jewish

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Up Next Previous Page Next Page An airline has denied it removed a group of 44 French Jewish children because of their identity. Spanish budget carrier Vueling insisted cabin crew were forced to eject a group of 52 passengers due to their 'highly disruptive behaviour' onboard. The children from the Club Kineret camp were returning to Paris after travelling to Valencia. The youth group has said it is has filed a formal complaint the airline, which is part of the group that owns British Airways, after it said cabin crew showed an 'antisemitic' attitude towards them. Video footage which circulated after the incident on Wednesday appeared to show one adult member of the party being detained by Guardia Civil officers on the jetbridge outside the aircraft. An adult member of Club Kinaret, believed to be the director, was videoed being detained by Guardia Civil officers on jetbridge outside the aircraft (Picture: X) Vueling said in a statement that cabin crew had decided to remove the group from the flight due to 'behaviour that compromised the integrity of the flight' (Picture: X) In a statement through its legal representatives, Club Kinaret said: 'The Club Kineret association wishes to formally and categorically deny allegations from Vueling Airlines suggesting that incidents were caused by the minors it was supervising on Vueling Flight VY8186. 'The facts are clear, serious, established and corroborated by multiple testimonies. They describe a scene of rare, unjustified and clearly biased brutality. 44 infants were disembarked from the aircraft, without a valid explanation, on orders of the captain onboard.' 'These children, supervised by 7 adults, had just completed a cultural stay. They were seated in their seats, respectful of the rules and the staff. No incident, no threat, no inappropriate behaviour was reported.' But Vueling said a decision was made to remove the group following behaviour which 'compromised the integrity of the flight', including tampering with emergency equipment and disrupting the safety demonstration. Vueling has denied it removed a group of 50 French Jewish children from a flight because of their religion (Picture: Shutterstock) It further accused some members of the youth group of taking a 'confrontational attitude' and said that 'aggressive' behaviour continued into the terminal after the passengers disembarked from the flight. The airline said in a statement: 'The actions of the on-board staff were solely in response to behaviour that compromised the integrity of the flight, as well as the safety of passengers and the operation as a whole.' 'We categorically deny any suggestion that our crew's decision related to the religion of the passengers involved. 'This decision was taken solely to ensure the safety of all passengers. At Vueling, we categorically reject any form of discrimination without exception.' A spokesperson for the Guardia Civil said the group was taken off the plane for repeatedly ignoring cabin crew instructions. It added that half the group boarded another flight that evening with another airline, while the rest stayed overnight at a hotel. The Federation of Spanish Jewish Communities said it was 'concerned' about the incident and demanded an explanation from Vueling as to how serious the childrens' behaviour was to be asked to leave the aircraft. It said: 'Airlines have responsibility to guarantee respect and dignity for all passengers, without exception. 'The FCJE believes that these types of incidents, which cause great worry and concern and affect minors, require clear and responsible institutional responses.' Further questions were raised after it transpired that the flight's captain, Ivan Chirivellas, had trained two terrorists involved in the September 11 attacks in 2001. Spain's Transport Minister Oscar Puente also came under fire for hisr response to the incident, in which he erroneously referred to the French youths as 'Israeli kids'. He wrote on X: 'Are the patriots with Vueling? Those with law and order with aviation safety? Or will they all stick together with the Israeli kids?'

Passengers pin down man who tries to open plane door mid-flight

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A passenger was held back from trying to open plane doors mid-flight. Footage shows flight attendants and passengers on the London Gatwick flight from the Dominican Republic restraining the man on June 29. Oore Fabunmi, 25, said she was sat behind the man when he suddenly stood up and ran toward the front of the aircraft. Screams erupted from throughout the cabin as he tried to pry open the doors. Passengers stepped in to pin the man down before TUI airline staff stepped in to detain him. He remained sat with staff for the rest of the flight and was escorted off the plane by police officers upon landing in London. Oore, a hearings officer from south London, said: 'It was pretty scary at first. 'I remember just seeing him leave the row in front of me and run forward. 'Next thing I heard was just screams coming from the front. 'My first thought was that we were being hijacked and we might die – like in the movies.' Oore said she interacted with the man at the beginning of the flight as she helped him find the correct seat. Oore said: 'I had chatted to him earlier in the journey. I got onto the plane with some friends I'd made on the holiday and he was actually sitting in one of their seats. 'They asked him to move and he seemed confused about his ticket so I helped him find his seat. 'He seemed alright after that until he started getting agitated halfway through the flight.' But four hours into the eight hour flight, Oore said the man began to grow restless. She said: 'He stood up on his seat, which I obviously thought was strange and then he just ran to the doors.' Passengers intervened and tried to pin the man down before airline staff stepped in to detain him. Oore said: 'All of it was quite strange. I think he clearly needed some help. More Trending 'He did not seem mentally well. I remember him muttering something about his wife being on a cruise, both at his seat and later by the door. 'But outside of that, I have no idea why he did what he did.' The man remained sat for the rest of the journey and passengers were asked to remain seated after landing while police came aboard to escort him off. The TUI Group have been contacted for comment.
