A 20-year-old British man has been killed in a fall from a hotel balcony in Magaluf, Majorca. Freddie Pring, from Somerset, died after plunging from a balcony at a four-star beachfront hotel in the popular holiday resort.
He was found on the ground and treated by emergency services but was pronounced dead at the scene. Spanish police have launched an investigation into the incident.
In a statement on Facebook, Mr Pring's rugby club, Minehead Barbarians, said: "It is with deepest sadness that we have to inform you that one of our own, Freddie Pring, has been involved in an accident abroad and has passed away. There is no more information at this time so please don't ask. Please give the family space at this time."
Mr Pring was reportedly staying at the resort with friends who were asleep at the time of the fall. Dozens of tributes were paid on social media, with Laura Bagshaw recalling "many memories of Freddie and his infectious smile as a student", and Jake Sharland describing him as "a true competitor and great chap off the field".
The Foreign Office confirmed it was assisting Mr Pring's family and is in contact with the local authorities.
