Palma man has fatal fall from roof while locked out

A MAN has tragically fallen to his death from the sixth-floor of his apartment block in Mallorca.

The 41-year-old realised he had locked himself out of his flat after leaving his keys inside his apartment before going out.

He went up to the roof of the building, which is located on Concordia Street in the Son Olive neighbourhood of Palma, to assess the situation.

After his neighbours refused to let him into his flat as they had not seen him before, he attempted to abseil down its wall onto his balcony.

However, the rope he used to make his desperate climb down did not support his weight and he ended up falling to his death below.
