A law student who fell to her death from a hotel balcony in Ibiza has been pictured.
Emma Ramsay, 19, fell from the sixth floor of Hotel Vibra District, an adults-only four-star hotel in San Antonio at around 3am on Tuesday.
The former head girl from Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, was filmed partying with friends hours before the incident.
She had been studying law at Strathclyde University, and tributes have been paid to the ‘incredibly kind’ and ‘hardworking’ student.
Lorna Lawson, Headteacher at St John Ogilvie High School told the Daily Record: ‘We are shocked and saddened at the heartbreaking news of the sudden passing of our former Head Girl, Emma Ramsay.
‘Emma was an incredibly kind, hardworking, bright and talented pupil who contributed a great deal to our school community.
‘Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. Emma will be missed and will forever hold a special place in our school.’
Emma’s friend Paris Mcgoldrick wrote online: ‘I don’t even know where to begin with how perfect our Emma was. I loved everything about you and I forever will. Heaven just gained the most beautiful angel they will ever get and I’m forever grateful to call you my friend.
‘I will forever cherish the moments we shared together, Em. I love you forever my girl, you will never be forgotten.’
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office said: ‘We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities.’
The Spanish civil guard are investigating the death, and an autopsy has not yet taken 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.’
