Desperate fight to save Brit tourist after being found face down in Spain holiday pool
Tragedy has struck in Majorca after a British holidaymaker was found facedown in a resort swimming pool in the early hours of this morning - the hotel is just 15 minutes away from the Love Island villa A British holidaymaker has been found dead in a hotel swimming pool on the Spanish island of Majorca. The 72-year-old was discovered face down in the resort's swimming pool this morning (Tuesday, 29 July) after the alarm was raised after 8.30am. The hotel is located in S'llot, a small tourist town on the south east coast of the Balearic Islands, and is just 15 minutes away from the famed Love Island villa in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar. Emergency medical organisation SAMU said: "A British man aged 72 has been found floating face down in the swimming pool of a hotel in s'Illot. He was pulled out of the water and basic resuscitation manoeuvres were practiced on him until the first ambulances arrived when it was confirmed he had gone into cardiac arrest.

The alarm was raised at 8.37am this morning." An advanced life-support ambulance and an air ambulance were dispatched to the resort. Local police have launched an investigation and are said to be present at the location, though official statements have yet to be released. It remains unclear whether the deceased was vacationing solo or accompanied by friends or family. It comes following a similar incident last September when a British teenage girl was critically injured after falling from the first floor of her hotel in the same holiday spot. In addition to this, a Scottish grandmother tragically passed away at a Spanish airport whilst returning from her holiday earlier this month. Angela McTier was travelling to Alicante airport in a taxi when she suffered a burst varicose vein, resulting in severe blood loss. The 48-year-old made it to the airport but collapsed in the departure lounge. Sadly, despite emergency treatment, she passed away at the scene on Tuesday, July 22. Another Brit died this month while swimming during a boat trip in Greece. Sadly, the 75-year-old was pulled out of the sea in the area of Kefalonia during the day out. In June, a British holidaymaker also passed away following a swim in Greece. The 68-year-old was reportedly found deceased after he had been unconscious in the water near the island of Rhodes.

Gran dies in Spanish airport on way home from 'best holiday' with grandkids
A grandmother has tragically died at a Spanish airport while on her way back from a holiday. Angela McTier was en route to Alicante airport in a taxi when she suffered a burst varicose vein which led to significant blood loss. The 48 year-old reached the airport but collapsed in the departure lounge. Tragically, despite receiving emergency treatment, she died at the scene on Tuesday July 22. Her daughter, Michelle Hilston, spoke to STV about how her mum had been working on her health so she could watch her granddaughters grow up. The 24 year old expressed: "My mum watched the grandkids at least two nights every week and always looked forward to them coming over. I'm heartbroken for my two girls who have just lost that special relationship with her. If there's one thing my mum loved, it was going on holiday, she thrived over there and this particular holiday to La Mata she just kept saying how amazing it was, it was her best holiday and she'd felt so well and couldn't wait to bring the grandkids over.

Michelle also shared that her mother, who was from Blantyre in Lanarkshire, was an essential support while she was studying for her midwifery degree. She had sent her mum a video of her 11-month-old granddaughter taking her first steps, as reported by the Daily Record. Michelle recounted: "She helped me out so much to pursue my dream degree after having my kids and always made sure I had all the childcare and financial support I needed. Her holidays were a special thing for her, she went multiple times a year, and it was one of the things she loved doing the most. "But the thing she loved the most was her granddaughters and would ask for pictures of them multiple times a day. The day she died, I had sent her a video of my 11-month-old finally walking, and she was in tears over the video, phoning everyone to tell them, and I'm glad that's the last video she saw of the kids." A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office stated: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who died in Spain." To help with the costs associated with Angela's repatriation and funeral expenses, a GoFundMe page has been established.
