British tourist dies in Ibiza supermarket car park plunge days after Scot's fatal hotel fall
Another British tourist has lost his life falling at a supermarket car park in Ibiza, just days after Evan Thomson died at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel after a fall. A British man who fell from a supermarket car park at an Ibiza holiday resort has died in hospital. The incident happened just after 8pm local time on Monday July 14 when the man fell from the Mercadona supermarket car park. The 25-year-old was taken to hospital by paramedics and admitted just after 9.30pm. However the Nuestra Senora del Rosario Polyclinic, where he was admitted to intensive care, said in an update: "Regrettably and despite all the efforts of medical personnel, the patient who fell yesterday in San Antonio has died due to the severity of his injuries." The Civil Guard is understood to have launched an investigation into the incident. It is not yet known where in the UK the injured man is from and whether he was on his own when he fell or accompanied by other people. The height he plunged from has not yet been disclosed. It comes just days after a Scottish tourist also died after falling from height at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel. Paramedics were called to the scene on Monday July 7 but Evan Thomson, from Aberdeen, was pronounced dead in the grounds of the hotel. Spanish authorities are understood to be investigating the accident. His devastated mum Lel Kellighan shared the tragic news in a Facebook post on Sunday night. She wrote: 'I'm absolutely heartbroken to write and tell you all, earlier this week my son Evan was in a tragic accident whilst on holiday with his friends in Ibiza and sadly passed away. "We are all absolutely broken." In April, a 19-year-old Italian tourist of Turkish origin fell to her death from the fourth-floor. While a Scottish teenager died in the early hours of August 20 last year after falling from a sixth-floor hotel balcony in Ibiza. Emma Ramsay, 19, from Hamilton, was on holiday with friends in the party resort of San Antonio. The tragedy occurred at a seafront four-star adult-only hotel called Hotel Vibra District.
