A 33-year-old British tourist has been found dead at the adults-only Ibiza Rocks Hotel in San Antonio, Ibiza, last night, as police investigate her mysterious death
A British woman has died in her hotel room in Ibiza on the party island, sparking a police investigation into the sudden tragedy.
The 33-year-old tourist died in her room at the popular adults-only Ibiza Rocks Hotel in San Antonio last night despite efforts to save her. Local police and paramedics rushed to the hotel on the island when the alarm was raised at around 6.30pm. Emergency responders confirmed the tourist had gone into cardiac arrest and spent around 40 minutes administering CPR, but she was later declared dead at the scene after the efforts to save her life were unsuccessful.

Civil Guard officers are now preparing a full report on the tragedy to hand over to a local court which has opened an investigation. Well-placed sources on the island however have claimed there is nothing at this stage to suggest the death was suspicious.
Reports latter suggested the as of yet unnamed woman suffered health problems and had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator, a small battery-powered device fitted under the collarbone which monitors heart beats. It also treats abnormal heart rhythms using electric impulses.
The tragedy is the second incident at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel this week after a 19-year-old Italian tourist of Turkish origin fell to her death from the fourth-floor on Sunday. She had flown to the island the previous day and gone partying.
She is said to have tried to been trying to reach her room via a balcony from a shared area of the hotel after realising she did not have her key card when she lost her footing and fell. Her lifeless body was discovered around 9am on Sunday morning. An investigation by police into that incident is also ongoing.
A number of similar tragedies involving young tourists falling from hotel balconies have been reported in recent years, including Scottish student Emma Ramsay, 19, who died last after falling from the sixth floor of a hotel in the same area.
Young British holidaymakers planning their getaways to Ibiza’s world-famous nightclubs have been warned they risk a painful death if they try and copy the stunt.
One local government source said the practice "worries us a lot", while the Ministry of Tourism has pledged to bring "more responsible tourism" to the archipelago following a wave of party-related injuries and growing local opposition to tourists.
Ana Gordillo, President of the Association of Hoteliers of Sant Antoni, said she hoped the death the young tourist "will not be repeated", though pointed that it is not yet known exactly why she fell from the balcony of the hotel.
