Irishman in holiday death plunge

An Irish holidaymaker has fallen to his death from a Spanish hotel.

The victim, named unofficially as 24-year-old Daniel Kenny from Athlone, Co Westmeath, plunged from an eighth-storey balcony on the island of Mallorca at about 3am. He had flown out to the island resort over the weekend.

Paramedics who raced to the scene spent 50 minutes trying to revive him, but he died from his injuries.
