Manacor Council engineers and fire fighters spent most of yesterday inspecting the shell of an abandoned building which collapsed earlier in the day.
The incident occurred at 10.35am in calle Fabrica when the interior of the three storey building came crashing down.
Fortunately, the property was abandoned and no body was injured in the act, according to the 112 emergency centre and the fire brigade.
The big question yesterday was what caused the interior of the building to collapse like a pack of cards and full investigations by the council and the fire services have been opened.
As a precaution the road was closed off while engineers and fire fighters made sure what was left standing of the building was safe but sources close to the operation said that the rest of the property may have to be demolished for safety reasons.
Neighbours were briefly evacuated until the emergency services had the situation under control and the local authorities were also searching for the owner of the property yesterday.
