The UK press has echoed the death of the 22-year-old British man after falling from a third floor of a hotel in Ibiza. The events happened on Friday morning in a hotel in the center of Sant Antoni and the health resources displaced to the area could not do anything to save his life due to the strong impact. The victim shared a room with a friend, who according to the British press is deeply affected by what happened. The Judicial Police is currently investigating what happened to bring about this event.

According to several British media, including The Sun, John McKenna was an electrician, native of Carlisle and an absolute football fan. In fact, he had played for the Carlisle City Sunday League Premier and Scotby FC, among other teams. This last club said in a tweet yesterday: Today we lost a legend, a brilliant player, but even better person. Josh Dixon, a former Carlisle United player, said he was «heartbroken» when he heard the news. One of my closest classmates all through school. Everywhere you went, you put a smile on someone’s face. Rest easy, big man». Another friend, Olly Dole, said that John McKenna was «a true gentleman and the most genuinely pleasant boy», according to The Sun.

It should be noted that this is the first fatal fall of a balcony recorded in a summer 2023 that starts tragically. The death of John McKenna was not the only death recorded last Friday in Sant Antoni, as the Civil Guard is also investigating the death of a 46-year-old man in an aparthotel in the same town. In the latter case, the man was found dead.
