A man on holiday with his family has become the sixth Briton this year to be killed in hotel falls on Spains Balearic Islands.

Paul Clough, 41, died in hospital from his injuries last week after plunging from the balcony of his third-floor room in the resort of Ciutadella, on Menorcas western coast.

Police on the island are investigating Mr Cloughs death but a senior officer said: All the indications are that this was a tragic accident.

Tragedy: Mr Clough was on holiday with his family in Ciutadella, Menorca when he accidentally fell off a hotel balcony

It appears Mr Clough fell through a gap in the balcony and into a garden below, after which he was rushed to hospital with multiple fractures and chest injuries. After his condition worsened, he died last Sunday.

Four Britons have died this year in Magaluf, Majorca, while another died in St Antonio, Ibiza. In total, 12 people have been killed in hotel falls in the Balearic Islands this year.

Adam Atkinson, 20, Castleford, West Yorkshire, died after falling off the balcony at the HM Martinique hotel in Magaluf, Majorca in April.
