An 11-year-old Irish girl has died after plunging 65ft from the seventh floor of a Majorcan hotel where she was staying with her family.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The youngster’s relatives were said to be sleeping when she went out on the terrace and leaned over the railing where she then fell to her death after landing on the roof of a first-floor restaurant.
The tragedy occurred around 6.30am this morning at the Jupiter building, within the three-star Club Mac resort, in Puerto de Alcudia, northeast Majorca.
Local reports suggest the child fell by accident although the Civil Guard has not yet made any official comment.
SHE COULD NOT BE SAVED
Paramedics and other emergency responders dashed to the hotel and attempted to revive the young girl but she was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy is expected to take place later today at the Institute of Legal Medicine in Palma.
The family at the centre of the drama are believed to have been planning to return home later today.

‘The family were due to return to Ireland today.
‘The youngster’s parents were sleeping when she fell and had no idea what had happened until afterwards.’
