THREE more cases of the reckless stunt known as 'balconing' have led to one death and two tourists in hospital in the Balearic Islands.
A northern European youth, aged 20, landed on concrete after jumping from a second-floor balcony whilst under the influence of alcohol at 03.25hrs yesterday (Tuesday) morning.
The 15-metre (48'9”) drop from the apartment on the C/ Agulla in the Cala Ratjada district of Capdepera (Mallorca) left him with multiple broken bones and bruises, and his heart and breathing stopped, meaning he was clinically dead for several minutes.
Paramedics managed to revive him and he is currently in intensive care at Son Espases hospital in a critical condition.
