An eleven-year-old girl from Ireland has died in Mallorca after falling from a balcony.
The child fell around 20 meters from the seventh floor of a hotel in Alcúdia in the north of the Spanish Mediterranean island at around half past six in the morning, reported the regional newspapers "Diario de Mallorca" and "Última Hora", citing spokespersons from the Mallorcan emergency services. The parents were still asleep at the time.
Attempts to resuscitate them by the emergency services, who arrived quickly, were unsuccessful. The police have started an investigation.
