First picture of British man killed in Ibiza balcony plunge
Christopher Beattie is second Brit death in party resort this month
A BRIT who plunged to his death from a balcony in Ibiza has been named.
Christopher Beattie, from Glasgow, died after falling from the fifth-floor apartment in the party resort of San Antonio.
A neighbour discovered his body at around 7.30am on Saturday on a first-floor roof of the building.
The 33-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics were called and realised they could do nothing to save him.
He is believed to have fallen hours earlier - just after 1am yesterday - because the same neighbour told cops she heard a loud noise around that time which she believed after her grim discovery was the sound of him landing.
He had no documentation on him but was identified a few hours later.
Civil Guard officers who are leading the probe into the incident under the coordination of an investigating magistrate have not released his name.
No-one from the force could be contacted this afternoon, although it is understood they are not treating the death as a suicide.
