A 21-year-old British woman has died after falling from the ninth-floor balcony of a hotel in Benidorm, Spain. Danielle Hall, reportedly from Newcastle, was on holiday with her boyfriend and his grandmother at the three-star Bermudas apartment hotel.
The incident occurred at around 2am on Sunday, just hours after the group arrived for a week-long stay. Local reports indicate Hall lost her balance while answering the door to a relative staying at the same hotel.
Spanish police said the death does not appear suspicious, with a spokesman stating, 'There is nothing at this stage to indicate any foul play.' An investigation has been launched under the supervision of a judge, and the British consulate has been informed.
A hotel spokeswoman expressed shock, saying, 'We’re still coming to terms with what’s happened.' The group had travelled to Benidorm for the town's annual festival, which runs from Friday to Wednesday.
