A British tourist has died after falling from a third-floor window at a resort in Ramsgate, South Africa. The incident occurred just after midnight on Saturday.
The 68-year-old man, who has not been identified, had been drinking in the hours before the fall, according to reports. Paramedics from the KwaZulu Private Ambulance Service arrived at the scene and found him in a critical condition.
Despite advanced life support interventions at the scene and during transport to hospital, his condition deteriorated and he could not be saved. An investigation has been launched to determine the circumstances surrounding the fatal fall.
Craig Botha, a spokesperson for the ambulance service, expressed condolences to the family. The beach town of Ramsgate is a popular destination for both South African and international tourists.
