A British tourist who died after falling from his hotel balcony in Malta has been officially named and pictured.
Keiran Thomas, 25, from Bangor, north Wales, died at the scene in St Julian's, a popular tourist town on the east of the island, on Friday morning.
A medical team were called to Triq Spinola at around 4.15am, where they discovered Mr Thomas' lifeless body on the ground outside of the building.
Malta Police's investigations into the tragic fall, which occurred at the Cavalieri Art Hotel, remain ongoing.
Mr Thomas' heartbroken father, Alan Hughes, told the BBC that the family were thankful for the supportive messages they had received from members of the public.
He also shared that his son, who had a twin brother, was working as a software engineer at the time of his death, with 'a promising career ahead of him'.
On Friday morning, the road outside of the hotel was temporarily closed as emergency services worked on the scene before the body was taken away.
By 9am, the hotel appeared to be operating as usual.

Welsh MP Sian Gwenllian, who represents Arfon, previously described Mr Thomas' death as 'truly devastating'.
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.'
Meanwhile, MP Liz Saville Roberts, who represents Dwyfor Meirionnydd, added: 'Heartbreaking news. My heart goes out to the young man's family at this extremely difficult time.'
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: 'We are in contact with the local authorities regarding the death of a British man in Malta.'
It comes less than two months after a British holidaymaker was left fighting for his life after plunging from a Costa del Sol hotel.
The tourist was rushed to the Costa del Sol Hospital in May in a 'critical condition' after the incident at the Hard Rock Hotel in Puerto Banus near Marbella.
He was then transferred to the Regional University Hospital of Malaga after 5am on Sunday May 25, when the incident took place.
Witnesses say the unnamed tourist fell from a first-floor balcony although it is said to have been the equivalent of a third-floor fall because of the area the hotel is built in.
An investigation into the incident remains ongoing.
