Thomas Owen Hughes, a former Rhosesni High School pupil, is believed to have been only days into his holiday when the tragedy occurred. Tributes have been paid by devastated friends, who have set up a campaign to raise money to bring his body home. Matty Pritchard, who went to school and college with the 20-year-old, told the Daily Post: “He was just the most genuine lad I know, down to earth and had a lot of friends who loved him. “I had the most respect for him and his girlfriend. “All his close friends are at the Acton pub tomorrow night to raise awareness and raise some more money aswell, a lot is being done for him and it’s great to see.” Details are unclear as to exactly how Mr Hughes - who had worked as a lifeguard at Waterworld in Wrexham - died, but it according to reports he may have jumped over the apartment balcony not realising there was a significant drop on the other side. More than £4,000 has so far been donated to the GoFundMe campaign. (Image: UGC) Friend Josh Halliwell, who set it up, said: “Following the tragic news about Tom, we are looking to raise some funds in order to help the family as much as possible during the coming weeks, however we can. “Tom was a fantastic person, who would have wanted to help anyone, and was a pleasure to be around. “Any donations are greatly appreciated and will certainly the cause.” Tributes were also paid on Facebook. Callum Wellman said: “So sad to see you go brother. “Such a down to earth guy and an absolute gentleman. “Will never forget the great memories we shared. “Rest easy mate.” Jake Broderick wrote: “Devastating news RIP Tom Hughes, one of the nicest lads around. “Someone who I may not have been the closest with but someone who I’ve known the majority of my life through primary and high school. I’m thinking of all of his family and close friends.” To donate to the GoFundMe page, visit https://www.gofundme.com/5mu6nf4<doc-sep>A tourist in his 20s has reportedly died after plunging from an apartment block in Magaluf. The 20-year-old, locally named as Thomas Owen Hughes, is said to have arrived in Majorca on Saturday. He was initially described by police on the island as Irish - but on Monday morning they said he was British. The apartment block where he was found, Eden Roc, is the same one where Scot Natalie Cormack died in April after falling from a seventh-floor ledge. Mr Hughes's body was found at around 11am yesterday. Local reports said the dead man was staying at a nearby hotel and not Eden Roc. One source said: "A neighbour alerted police around 11am, saying they could see a person lying on the ground. "He fell from a height of around 20 metres." Another said the circumstances were still being investigated and it was too early to reach any conclusions as to why it had happened. It was not immediately clear if the man died some time before his body was spotted. A duty court in Palma, Spain, has been placed in charge of an investigation into the man's death and is awaiting a full police report.
