In a separate incident, Evan Thomson, 26, fell to his death at the same hotel

This is the same hotel where a Scottish tourist died just over a fortnight ago.
The lad fell just after midnight, and two ambulances rushed to the scene.
Tragically, there was nothing they could do to save him.
Local police confirmed this morning he was a British national - but gave no further details on his identity.
In a separate incident, Evan Thomson, 26, fell to his death at the same hotel exactly two weeks ago.
It's understood he had been celebrating on holiday with pals following his birthday last month.
Tragically, he too was pronounced dead at the scene.
His mum Lel Kellighan broke the sad news on social media a few days later, saying: 'I'm absolutely heartbroken to write and tell you all, earlier this week my son Evan was in a tragic accident whilst on holiday with his friends in Ibiza and sadly passed away.
'We are all absolutely broken. Please allow us some time.'
In the days after Evan's death, his loved ones raised questions about safety at Ibiza Rocks, and was critical over the hotel's handling of the situation.
Evan's sister Teila said: 'Ibiza is known for its partying and it just stuns me that they don't have higher safety precautions.
'Pray nobody else suffers. And, once it did happen, the hotel's response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this."
Friend Blair Robertson, 25, who had been with Evan before he died, claimed: 'Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn't arrive for about 30 minutes.
"Forensic officers didn't speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope."
And a THIRD young Brit died from a fall in San Antonio last Monday.
The 25-year-old died in hospital from injuries sustained when he fell from a supermarket car park in the town the previous day.
He was rushed to an intensive care unit at a private island hospital following the incident.
The clinic confirmed he died from his injuries, saying last Monday: 'Regrettably and despite all the efforts of medical personnel, the patient who fell yesterday in San Antonio has died due to the severity of his injuries."

Why restoring discipline in Scotland's schools is now a national priority

Accounts of the breakdown of discipline in Scotland's schools appear to be coming as thick and fast as bad news about NHS waiting lists. The latest shows that the number of incidents in which 'abusive or sexist' remarks were directed at teachers in Edinburgh has increased by a staggering 545 per cent. Many people will remember the days when children would never dream of swearing at a teacher and, if one did, there would be serious consequences and it would be the talk of the school for months. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad In 2020/21, there were 22 cases of "abusive or sexist" comments in Edinburgh's schools and this number steadily increased to 142 in the last academic year, according to the city council. Clearly, the message being conveyed to the young generation is not that such behaviour is unacceptable, but quite the reverse. Schools should be places of learning where abuse of teachers is extremely rare and swiftly dealt with (Picture: Anthony Devlin) | Getty Images Racism and misogyny Mike Corbett, of teaching union the NASUWT, said their research had found that sexual harassment and sexism towards 'both female teachers and pupils in schools is commonplace and that the majority of incidents fail to be reported or dealt with effectively'. 'Racist, misogynistic and anti-immigrant rhetoric is also trickling into schools, fuelled by social media, and leading to incidents of harassment, threats and violence towards staff,' he added, urging Scottish Government ministers to take action. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The need for them to do so was backed by Scottish Conservative education spokesman Miles Briggs. He said – and surely no one could possibly disagree – that 'teachers should not have to put up with what has become an epidemic of disorder and even violence'. Despite teachers going on strike because of pupil violence earlier this year, the SNP appears determined to drive down the number of exclusions, with John Swinney suggesting the children concerned might get 'caught up in organised crime'. However, the consequences of raising large numbers of children who think abusive behaviour is normal and acceptable will be profound. What will happen when young adults with such attitudes collide with the world of work?

Alex Salmond cleared of historic sexual assault claim after police probe ends
EXCLUSIVE: It was reported last year that fresh allegations had been made about Salmond, but police say no further action will be taken. Alex Salmond has been cleared of fresh sexual assault allegations after police ended their probe into the claims. Cops said 'no further action' will be taken after a complaint was made about the former SNP First Minister and Alba leader. Salmond, who led the country between 2007 and 2014, died of a heart attack on a trip to North Macedonia in October. But weeks after his death it was reported that a woman had made a claim of sexual assault against him to police. A Police Scotland spokesperson said in November: "We can confirm that we have received a report of a non-recent sexual assault. The information is being assessed." In an updated statement to the Record, the force said: 'Following a report of a non-recent sexual assault, enquiries were carried out and no further action will be taken." Alba MSP Ash Regan welcomed the decision: 'Alex Salmond died with his reputation intact as a titan of Scottish politics. Alex can no longer defend himself, yet some remain determined to smear his name. "It is time to let him rest, grant his wife Moira and his family the closure they deserve and draw a line so his legacy can be remembered with dignity.' Salmond 's final years were dominated by claims of sexual assault against him by multiple women. Following a high profile trial at the High Court in Edinburgh in 2020, he was cleared of sexually assaulting nine women while he was first minister. A jury found Salmond not guilty on twelve of the sexual assault charges facing him, while another was found not proven. In 2018, the Record revealed that the Nicola Stureon-led SNP Government had investigated sexual harassment claims against Salmond when he was First Minister. The probe was quashed after a judge ruled the investigation had been "unlawful", "procedurally unfair" and "tainted by apparent bias". He was poised to sue the Government over the botched probe before his death. Dr Nick McKerrell, a Senior Lecturer in Law at Glasgow Caledonian University, said: " Investigating alleged crimes involving deceased people is not without precedent in recent times. They obviously have difficulties with the absence of the key participants but there still can be public interest in carrying it out even though there can be no prosecution. "Individual investigations would be more difficult to pursue than multiple historical complaints against individuals". Regan said of the multiple probes into Salmond: 'The exhaustive investigations, played out under the public spotlight, ended with his full vindication in Scotland's highest courts, civilly and criminally.' In October, when the fresh sexual assault allegation came to light, it was also reported that up to six women complained to SNP bosses in 2022 about Salmond 's alleged behaviour. Salmond had two spells in charge of the SNP that spanned two decades. He was a close ally of Sturgeon until the pair fell out over her Government's sexual harassment probe. She is expected to lift the lid on the dispute in his memoirs next month. He quit the SNP in 2018 and formed Alba, a rival pro-independence party.

Brit Cameron Bradford charged with drug trafficking in Germany after 'cannabis smuggle'
Cameron Bradford, a 21-year-old mother of one, was detained in Munich, Germany on suspicion of smuggling cannabis - she's the latest young British woman to now be charged overseas Another young British woman has been charged overseas for allegedly smuggling cannabis from Thailand. Cameron Bradford, 21, was detained in Munich Airport when she went to collect her luggage. The mother of one had travelled to Thailand on her own, according to a family friend. Bradford's family was alerted to her disappearance when she did not return to Heathrow Airport as expected. They then filed a missing persons report. It's understood Bradford, from Knebworth in Hertfordshire, changed her flight to Munich at the last minute - which German authorities were alerted to as a red flag. She could face around months behind bars in a German jail while the origin of the drugs is investigated. Bradford, who has a young son, will next appear at Munich District Court on August 6. She remains in custody in Munich until at least that hearing. 'We can confirm that we are conducting proceedings in this matter,' said the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office's chief prosecutor Anne Leiding, according to The Sun. 'The defendant is still in custody.' A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting a British woman who is detained in Germany and are in contact with her family and the local authorities." There are currently no details from the prosecution regarding the charges or potential trial date. Germany legalised cannabis for recreational use by adults last year, but this does not extend to non-residents. Bradford is the latest in a number of young British women to have been arrested in connection with drug-related offences. It emerged this week that Nottinghamshire model Clara Wilson, 36, was charged with a drug running offence after more than 34 kilos of cannabis were found in her suitcase at Barcelona's El Prat airport. It is not yet clear how she intends pleading and whether she will try to strike a pre-trial plea bargain deal in the hope of getting more lenient treatment. Under Spanish law the British model can be held for up to two years in prison before she has to be bailed, but well-placed sources said they expected her to be tried later this year. Brits Bella May Culley, 18, Charlotte May Lee, 21, and Isabella Daggett, 21, are all facing lengthy prison sentences in harsh overseas prisons if they are convicted of drug smuggling. Bella, 18, was the first hit the headlines following her arrest in Georgia. She flew into the former Soviet state from Thailand on May 11. She faces a lengthy spell behind bars if found guilty — which could be life if she receives a severe sentence. Little is still known about how she came to be caught at Tblisi Airport after her family reported her missing in Thailand. Charlotte arrived in Sri Lanka again from Thailand on May 12, allegedly with a stash of cannabis in her luggage valued at £1.2million which she denied knowing anything about. She has been in custody since she was arrested at Bandaranaike Airport. And Isabella Daggett, 21, is another alleged drug mule who is being held in a hellhole Dubai prison where she has not been able to shower or change clothes. Her case has been highlighted by her family after she was arrested in March, just five weeks after moving to the United Arab Emirates for work. She was working for a businessman doing internet recruiting for construction sites in the UK and he offered to send her to the Middle East for a similar role. But police in Dubai allegedly arrested her along with another man not long after she arrived in Dubai. Her family insist she was taken by police simply for being 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and has never used drugs. And she has not taken a shower or even changed her clothes in months after being banged up in a prison in March, her family claims. Her grandmother Heather Smith told the DailyMail: "She was arrested with a lad, who was not her boyfriend, with whom she was staying because things had fallen through with another house. She didn't really like him that much. He may be guilty of something, but she isn't. We told Bella before she went to Dubai, 'you know the rules in Dubai, play by the rules, don't flaunt this, don't do that'." All the women deny the charges against them.
