British teenager, 15, on school exchange dies after falling from balcony

A British teen has died after falling from a seventh-floor bathroom at an apartment block in southern Spain.

The 15-year-old is understood to have been on a school exchange to the city of Cordoba.

Local authorities say they are treating the incident as a tragic accident and say police are not investigating it as a crime at this stage.

The youngster fell to his death from the bathroom window at the block around 11.25pm last night.

He had been in the city for less than a week and was participating in a language exchange.

One local report said he had been trying to fix a broken blind when he lost his balance.

Local education chief Inmaculada Troncoso said in a statement: “We deeply regret what has happened.

“We are offering support to the school where the boy was as well as his family.”

The apartment where the tragedy happened is in a street called Calle Periodista Quesada Chacon.
