A dream holiday to the sunny shores of Ibiza turned to tragedy this week for a British family as a 34-year-old woman passed away suddenly after falling ill at her resort.
The local woman, from Bury in Greater Manchester, was staying in the popular area of Playa d'en Bossa when she was struck down by a sudden illness. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, she could not be saved.
The Spanish Civil Guard has confirmed they are investigating the circumstances surrounding her untimely death. A spokesperson indicated that initial findings suggest her death was from natural causes, though the specific illness has not been disclosed.
A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesman confirmed the devastating news, stating: "We are supporting the family of a British woman who has died in Spain and are in contact with the local authorities."
The news has sent a wave of shock through the UK travel community, serving as a heartbreaking reminder of the unforeseen tragedies that can occur abroad. The woman's family is now being provided with consular support during this incredibly difficult time.
