A 25-year-old man from Gwynedd has died in Malta in a fall from a hotel balcony.

Police were called to the hotel in St Julian’s, a town on the east of the island, in the early hours of Friday.

A medical team attended the scene at Triq Spinola but the man died at the scene. Malta Police said its investigations were ongoing.

Member of the Senedd Sian Gwenllian, who represents Arfon, said in a statement that the man’s death was “truly devastating”.

“The pain his family must be experiencing is unimaginable. My thoughts, and those of the people of Gwynedd, are with them in their grief,” she said.
