A British holidaymaker has died after plunging down the steps of an apartment complex in Spain.<\/p>\n

The victim, understood to be a 24-year-old man, fell \u2018face first\u2019 to his death at around 5.30am on Saturday on the Playa de las Americas resort in Tenerife.<\/p>\n

Emergency responders rushed to the complex after reports of a dull person on the bottom but pronounced him dead on the scene.<\/p>\n

Police soon discovered that the Brit had spent the day at an electronic music festival in nearby Costa Adeje with a friend.<\/p>\n

Officers are said to be working on the speculation he woke up in the course of the night and left the fourth-floor apartment he was staying in moments before his fall in an accident from two floors down.<\/p>\n

The outcomes of a post-mortem, which is able to include tests to find out whether he consumed drink or drugs before his death that might have influenced his behaviour, haven’t yet been released.<\/p>\n

It comes weeks after an elderly British tourist from Hartlepool fell from the second floor of his Lanzarote hotel right into a knee-deep fish pond full of Koi carp and terrapins.<\/p>\n

Firefighters and medical staff needed to be called to rescue the pensioner, 70, from the pond at the favored resort of Playa Blanca on April 18.<\/p>\n

A well-placed source has claimed the autumn is being treated as an accident because it appears he was attempting to peer down and take a look at the fish pond before he lost his balance and fell.<\/p>\n

Medical staff had already fitted the elderly tourist with a neck brace by the point firefighters arrived.<\/p>\n

They lifted him out on a rescue board they’d strapped him onto before taking him to a waiting ambulance.<\/p>\n

He was then evacuated to Molina Orosa Hospital within the Lanzarote capital Arrecife.<\/p>\n

The holidaymaker was later transferred to the UK and brought to James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough with multiple injuries including broken bones and a head injury.<\/p>\n
