A post on the Suicide Club's Instagram account acknowledged the tragedy and issued an update in both German and English.

It said: “Due to the unforeseen and tragic circumstances that occurred last weekend, the suicide club will remain closed throughout the weekend out of respect and piety."

German police confirmed the death of the 25-year-old.

They told the Irish Mirror they are investigating the incident, adding that a post-mortem examination will give them more information.

The Irish Embassy in Berlin is also providing consular assistance to the woman's family.

A Department of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said: "The Department of Foreign Affairs is aware of the case and providing consular assistance. As with all consular cases, the Department does not comment on the details of any specific case."
