A British tourist, identified as 25-year-old Ioan Evans from Gwynedd, north Wales, has died after falling from a hotel balcony in St Julian, Malta. Police discovered his body on the ground outside the hotel on Triq Spinola early Friday morning. A medical team attended the scene, but he was pronounced dead at the site.
Preliminary investigations suggest Evans fell from his balcony at around 4:15am. The road was temporarily closed to traffic while his body was removed. Maltese police have launched an inquiry into the incident, which remains ongoing.
Welsh MP Sian Gwenllian, representing Arfon, expressed her condolences, calling the death "truly devastating" and stating that the family's pain is "unimaginable." MP Liz Saville Roberts, of Dwyfor Meirionnydd, also shared her heartbreak, offering thoughts to the young man's family.
Evans was a footballer who played for local Welsh clubs. His death is the latest in a series of tragedies involving British tourists abroad, following the drowning of a 50-year-old British mother in Corfu, Greece, earlier this week.
