A British man has died after he fell from his hotel balcony in Malta.
The holidaymaker, 25, from Gwynedd, Wales, fell to his death in the seaside town of St Julian’s, north of the capital Valletta.
The incident happened at about 4.15am yesterday at the Cavaliery Art Hotel, it is understood.
Emergency services were alerted, but when they arrived at the scene, they found the Welshman had succumbed to his injuries, The Sun reports.
The area outside the hotel on Triq Spinola was cordoned off on Friday morning as the emergency crews recovered his body.
Siân Gwenllian, the Welsh Senedd member for Arfon, said: ‘News of the death of a 25-year-old man from Gwynedd in Malta is truly devastating.
‘The pain his family must be experiencing is unimaginable.
‘My thoughts, and those of the people of Gwynedd, are with them in their grief.’
Maltese officials have reportedly launched an investigation.
Locals reacted to the ‘sad’ news on social media.
One person wrote: ‘Sympathies to the family.’
