A British tourist has tragically died after falling from a hotel balcony while on holiday in Turkey. The incident occurred in the popular resort town of Antalya, where emergency services rushed to the scene but were unable to save the victim.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fall, though initial reports suggest no foul play was involved. The identity of the deceased has not yet been released, pending notification of next of kin.
The UK Foreign Office has confirmed they are providing consular assistance to the family. A spokesperson stated: "We are supporting the family of a British national who has died in Turkey and are in contact with the local authorities."
This devastating incident serves as a sobering reminder of the potential dangers faced by holidaymakers abroad. Safety campaigners have long warned about balcony-related accidents in tourist destinations, particularly where alcohol may be a factor.
The tragic death comes during peak tourist season in Turkey, which remains one of the most popular destinations for British travellers. Last year alone, over 2.5 million UK citizens visited the country.
