A BRITISH tourist has died after falling over a 15ft wall in Spain.

The holidaymaker plunged to his death following a night out on the holiday island of Mallorca, reports the Sun.

The 28-year-old is believed to have accidentally fallen over the wall near the entrance of the Reverence Mare hotel in Palmanova, near Magaluf.

He is believed to have died instantly after landing next to the four-star resort’s spa pool at around 7am.

His girlfriend had to be treated for shock and paramedics were seen arriving at the hotel shortly before midday.

The Guardia Civil is leading the investigation into the death and are awaiting the results of an autopsy.

Sources told the Sun that it is being treated as a ‘tragic accident.’
