British holidaymaker dies in freak accident

Student Mark David Day, 20, had to strip off in Majorca and run along a hotel corridor in just his socks and underpants after losing a game of poker with two holiday pals. But he lost his balance and failed to stop as he careered towards a window at the end of the passageway.

Pals Marc Smart and Steve Kimberley, both 21, watched in horror as he smashed through the glass and fell more than 40 feet at the three-star Majorca Beach Hotel in the partyresort of Magalluf.
