Tourist In Coma After Balcony Fall
A young British tourist is critically ill in hospital in Ibiza after falling from a hotel balcony.
Ryan Elley, 20, from Portsmouth, Hampshire, suffered bleeding on the brain after falling two storeys at Jet Apartments in Playa d'en Bossa on Sunday.
He has been placed in a medical coma in Son Dureta hospital in Palma, Majorca.
Mr Elley is understood to have travelled on a spur-of-the-moment trip to the Spanish island to meet friends on holiday there.
His family are understood to be facing a £15,000 bill for an air ambulance to fly him back to the UK, as he did not take out medical insurance before his trip.
