A YOUNG British tourist has died in Ibiza after falling from the third floor of a hotel.
The incident occurred in the early hours of this morning at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel in party hotspot San Antonio, the same hotel where Scottish holidaymaker Evan Thomson, 26, plunged to his death just two weeks ago.
The 19-year-old is the third British tourist to die at the four-star hotel this year after a 33-year-old woman collapsed and died in her room in April.
Paramedics were called to the scene early this morning but the unnamed teenager was pronounced dead at the scene.
A local police spokesperson said this morning: “We are investigating the death of a 19-year-old British man at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.

“The alarm was raised around 12.40am this morning. Our officers were sent to the scene but the man in question was dead by the time help arrived.
“The fall was from the third floor of the hotel to an outside part of the complex. Court officials authorised the removal of his body at 2.40am this morning.
“The fall could be accidental based on the early information obtained from cameras but as part of the investigation possible witnesses will need to be located and interviewed.
“The results of the post-mortem will also be important to the investigation.”
