UK tourist dies after Malta hotel balcony fall as cops launch probe
The man's lifeless body was found on the ground after the fall and was pronounced dead at the scene. A British tourist, aged 25, has tragically died in a popular holiday hotspot after a late night horror fall from a hotel balcony. Police rushed to a hotel in St Julian, Malta, on Friday morning, July 12, and discovered the body of a lifeless man on the ground outside the building. A medical team rushed to the tragic site at Triq Spinola, on the east of the island, but the 25-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. Cops in the UK confirmed the dead Brit was from Gwynedd, in northern Wales, reports the Mirror. A probe into the fatal incident was launched by police and the results of a preliminary investigation said the British man could have fallen off his balcony at the hotel at around 4.15am, according to local reports. Cops temporarily blocked the Triq Spinola road, outside the hotel, to traffic earlier on Friday morning. The road was reopened after the 25-year-old's body was removed from the scene. Maltese police revealed their probe into the horror death is still ongoing. Welsh MP Sian Gwenllian, who represents Arfon, spoke on the tragedy and said the death was "truly devastating, in a statement. She said: "News of the death of a 25-year-old from Gwynedd in Malta is truly devastating. The pain his family must be experiencing is unimaginable. My thoughts, and those of the people of Gwynedd, are with them in their grief." MP Liz Saville Roberts, who represents Dwyfor Meirionnydd, also shared a statement. She said: "Heartbreaking news. My heart goes out to the young man's family at this extremely difficult time." This tragically has not been the first death of a Brit abroad in recent days. A mum from the UK also drowned in Corfu, Greece, in front of her husband and 16-year-old son. The 50-year-old woman and her partner had been swimming off Roda beach in northern Corfu on Wednesday when bad weather left the couple battling the waves as they tried to scramble towards the shore. It is not clear exactly what caused the couple to get into trouble but some local outlets reported that strong currents and bad weather made them lose control, but other local sites suggested they had been swept out towards a rocky area. The fire service was contacted but despite their best efforts, they couldn't save the mother and she was pulled "unconscious from [the] water." The husband sustained minor injuries and after being pulled out, watched on in a state of panic as rescuers tried to save his wife, as did their 16-year-old son. The mum was rushed to a private clinic, where she was pronounced dead before her body was transferred to Corfu General Hospital.
