Officers have interviewed several people in seeking an explanation for his strange behaviour, which was captured on video and showed him almost running from side to side on the balcony ledge at the South Beach Hotel before falling as he tried to climb down from the seventh to the sixth floor.
The Palmanova-Magalluf Hoteliers Association has released a statement expressing its great sorrow at what happened, but adding that this was not a case of "balconing", a practice which has been "eradicated" in Magalluf. It was instead "clearly reckless conduct".
The association insists that the Balearic law against tourism of excesses is being applied "rigorously". On certain occasions, however, "isolated acts", such as that on Thursday, cannot be prevented.

It is obvious that a lot of people have no sympathy on here at all, this person was a human being like the rest of us, he is a son of a family, he maybe has a family of his own. Did he have any issues? We will never know, for those of you calling him an idiot for taking drugs and he knew what he was doing, do you know what your own family members are doing? Are they having a dabble too? Drugs are world wide and not only in Magaluf and it is time that the authorities done something about the looky lookys' who openly peddle their trade on the streets. How many times have people sent footage of open peddling to councils etc requesting them that they get rid of these people, it wont eliminate the problem but it will make it more difficult to obtain an illegal substance. There are lots of questions here and opinions but my personal thoughts are with the people he has left behind with no answers. To all you others out there who are mis-calling him I sincerely hope that you do not get a call on knock on the door someday with the horrific news that a family member has died due to similar circumstances as to what happened here.
Am sorry.,..but as no one else has said it...He new wat he was doing By taking the Drugs..thats it...and UNFORTUNALY he has NOW paid a VERY HIGH price for that..i hop his SO CALLED friends and the people that gave him/sold him the Drugs HAVE SOME GUILT...BUT again...this bloke new wat he was doing..Its NOT the Hotel/s or the Associans Fault....
No sympathy. Drug taking idiot the likes of whom destroy the image of Brits abroad.
