2nd Teenage Tragedy An 18 year-old British tourist has been found dead in a hotel room in Sant Antoni. Workers at the Marco Polo hotel found the body of Rebeca Maria Brock on Monday afternoon after she failed to check out of the hotel in the morning. The young girl, who was staying alone in the room, is suspected to have been dead for a number of days after not responding to knocks on the door by the cleaners over the weekend. After recovering from the shock of discovering the body, hotel workers called the Guardia Civil who detected no signs of violence at the scene and suspect that the death was due to natural causes. It is thought that the death could be due to a pulmonary embolism (a blockage
of the lung’s primary artery), but will this cannot be confirmed until the results of the autopsy. This is the second case in a week of a teenage death, after 18-year-old Danielle McCallum died in Can Misses hospital last Tuesday 22nd September. Guardia Civil sources have stated that they were told by a friend of the deceased that she had taken MDMA and a hospital spokesman also said Danielle, from Greenock, Inverclyde, was admitted to hospital following suspected MDMA consumption. However her family have cast doubt on the drugs claims and insist she had only taken painkillers over the previous weekend after a fall. Tests are still being carried out to determine if the cause of death was drug-related or not.
