Tributes are pouring in for a Scottish student who tragically plunged from the sixth floor of an Ibiza hotel.

Emma Ramsay, 19, was partying with friends before falling from a balcony at the Hotel Vibra in San Antonio.

The Civil Guard continued to investigate yesterday and an autopsy has yet to take place.

A spokesman for the force said: “I can confirm a 19-year-old British tourist has died following a fall at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.”

A well-placed police source added: “Everything is pointing to this being a tragic accidental fall.”

An Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.”

She is the second Brit to fall to their death in the Balearic Isles in a matter of days.

On Saturday morning a 28-year-old British holiday-maker died in a 15ft fall at a hotel in Palmanova near Magaluf in Majorca after a night out partying.

The dead man’s partner had to be treated for a panic attack later in the day.
