Friends raise money to repatriate body of Scottish tourist

A Just Giving page was set up on Thursday and has already raised £4,162 - 104% of the initial £4,000 target. Writing on the page, Josh Candy said: "On Saturday 27 August, Alexander Forrest went on holiday to Magalluf in Majorca with two friends.

"Unfortunately, due to an horrendous accident Alex hasn’t made it home. On 31 August Alex was found and pronounced dead. Alex had suffered severe head injuries and died instantly. As of the Wednesday, Alex’s mum had to be flown out to Magalluf to try get Alex home."

A Jet2.com spokeswoman said on Friday they would arrange for Forrest’s body to be returned home at no cost to his family. She added: "We would like to offer our sincere condolences to Alexander’s family and friends at this difficult time."
