On Sunday last week Callum Marriott, 26, from Clipstone, Nottinghamshire, died after plunging onto the floor of an inside patio from the fourth-floor of a building called the Tanit building in nearby San Antonio. Investigators said afterwards they believed he may have been trying to get into his fourth-floor apartment when he fell around 4.15am on August 6 after leaving his friends and returning early only to find he didn’t have keys to get in. Today it emerged the dead man plunged three floors after falling asleep on a small ledge between the terrace of the apartment he was in and a neighbouring apartment. Well-placed sources also revealed police had confiscated several laughing gas capsules they found in the apartment he was sharing with friends and found several bottles of alcohol lying on the floor of the flat.
