A British holidaymaker has died after plunging from a third floor hotel balcony in Ibiza.
The man, reportedly in his 20s, is the second holidaymaker to die in a hotel fall on the party island in just eight days.
He was pronounced dead at the popular Jet Apartments holiday block in the resort of Playa d’en Bossa around 6.30am this morning after a failed 45-minute attempt by paramedics to save his life.
The circumstances in which he fell from a third-floor of one of the apartment blocks, around 5.35am, is currently being investigated by police.
Local reports said he had fallen around the swimming pool area.

Emergency service workers confirmed he was British.
It was not immediately clear if he had fallen from a balcony or a window.
On Sunday last week Callum Marriott, 26, from Clipstone, Notts, 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.
He had just enjoyed his last night out on the holiday island with friends and was due to catch a plane home later the same day.

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.
Charlie Simpkin, 20, a workmate at Mansfield Citroen where Callum worked as a technician, said in a moving tribute: “There aren’t words to describe him. He was just golden. He was like a brother to me.
"He was really bubbly, he loved life, his music and his cars.”
A 27-year-old Irishman was badly hurt last month after hitting his head on the bottom of his swimming pool at his two-star hotel in San Antonio when he miscalculated the depth and dived into the shallow end.
