Briton dies after hotel balcony fall in Menorca He is understood to have fallen through a gap in the balcony, and landed in the garden below. He was taken to hospital in a critical condition, and was diagnosed with multiple fractures and chest injuries. A spokesman for Mateu Orfila Hospital, where he was treated, said he died on Sunday evening after his condition worsened. He is the 12th person to have died in the Balearic Islands this year after falling from a hotel balcony. A statement from the Foreign Office said: "We can confirm the hospitalisation and subsequent death of a British national in Menorca and we are providing consular assistance to their family." The Foreign Office recently launched a campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of hotel balconies, following a spate of accidents involving British holidaymakers. In April, Benjamin Harper, 28, from Twickenham, fell to his death at the Sol Antillas Hotel in Magaluf, Majorca. In May, 23-year-old Charlotte Faris died after a fall at the Teix Hotel, also in Magaluf. And in June, Ian Knox, a 19-year-old from Scotland, was killed after falling from a balcony in Kavos, Corfu.
