MALLORCA TODAY - Two more deaths after falls in Magalluf

Police are investigating the deaths of two tourists, both believed to be British and in their early twenties, in Magalluf yesterday morning. One young man was found on a patio at the Dolphin building off Punta Ballena and the second fell from a balcony at the Mallorca Rocks hotel.

Update: The victim of the fall at the Dolphin building is still believed to be British. He fell eight metres on to the roof of a bar, which appears to have been Lennon's. He was wearing a wristband from a hotel elsewhere in Magalluf. The victim at Mallorca Rocks is now said to be Italian and to have fallen down a stairwell. 

Update: The Dolphin building victim is now said to be German.

MALLORCA TODAY - And yet another fall from a balcony

Another day, another fall from a Mallorcan hotel balcony. This time, a Swede aged 36 or 40 depending on which report you read, from the second or third floor of Magalluf's Comodoro de Playa.

Eighteen-year-old Jake Evans, who survived a fall of some twenty metres from a balcony at the Torrenova Playa, is recovering in hospital and telling the local Spanish press what happened. Something about retrieving a lighter, and then slipping. A sunbed cushioned his fall.
