A British man has died after he fell from his hotel balcony in Malta.
The holidaymaker, 25, from Gwynedd, Wales, fell to his death within the seaside town of St Julian’s, north of the capital Valletta.
The incident happened at about 4.15am yesterday on the Cavaliery Art Hotel, it is known.
Emergency services were alerted, but after they arrived on the scene, they found the Welshman had succumbed to his injuries, The Sun reports.
The world outside the hotel on Triq Spinola was cordoned off on Friday morning because the emergency crews recovered his body.
Siân Gwenllian, the Welsh Senedd member for Arfon, said: ‘News of the death of a 25-year-old man from Gwynedd in Malta is really devastating.
‘The pain his family have to be experiencing is unimaginable.
‘My thoughts, and people of the people of Gwynedd, are with them of their grief.’
Maltese officials have reportedly launched an investigation.
Locals reacted to the ‘sad’ news on social media.
One person wrote: ‘Sympathies to the family.’
Two weeks ago, a dad was killed in Majorca after he fell 15 feet down a wall near a beach.
Ben Clark, 41, from Hampshire, was killed immediately when he plunged from the rock wall.
His partner had also fallen at the identical spot, but she managed to get to a close-by hotel and lift the alarm.
