Emergency services immediately moved to the area, but the young man was already dead when he received first aid. National Police agents also arrived, who are now trying to find out what happened. The friends have detailed to the police that they said goodbye to the young man at dawn after having been partying and that they did not hear from him again until they discovered the body this morning.
The main hypothesis being used is that the young man fell from the balcony of his hotel for unknown reasons, probably due to a loss of balance, but they do not rule out other options, such as the young man leaving the hotel alone at dawn and leaving later. object of aggression by another person.
If it is confirmed that the young man fell from the balcony, he would be the second death this year from the same cause in this tourist area of Palma, a place frequented by young tourists who come to the island in search of alcohol and fun. Deaths due to falls from hotels became frequent to the point that the Balearic Islands have specific regulations against excesses, with the prohibition of the sale of alcohol in shops at night, among other measures.
