Man dies after balcony fall

A WEXFORD family is today making plans for the funeral of their only son who died after falling from an apartment balcony while on holiday in Spain with his girlfriend.

Brendan McDonald, 21, from Abbeyview, Campile, was with girlfriend Deirdre White and two friends in the popular Costa del Sol resort of Torremolinos when he lost his footing and fell from the balcony of his fourth-floor apartment on Saturday night.

The two couples had only arrived at the holiday resort four days earlier.
