Former British Airways stewardess found dead in Majorca home with head injury

A British woman has been found dead at her home in Majorca following a suspected “domestic accident”.

The 55-year-old, described locally as a former British Airways stewardess, was discovered by her distraught husband after he had returned to the property from a work trip. Her partner, also believed to be from the UK, dialled 999 - but emergency responders were tragically unable to save the woman when they arrived, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Spanish police have launched an investigation into the expat’s death, but well-placed sources said there was nothing at this stage pointing to it being suspicious. The woman, who has not been named, was discovered lying on the floor of her living room in the town of Soller in the northern part of Majorca yesterday night.

Emergency services were called at around 10.30pm, and arrived on scene with local police. An ongoing investigation is being conducted by the Civil Guard, which is reporting to a court in the Majorcan capital Palma, but has yet to make any official comment.

The exact nature of the suspected “domestic accident” the British woman is said to have suffered has not been outlined, although she is understood to have had a head injury. She is thought to have moved to Soller several years ago with her husband after taking early retirement. The woman has only been identified locally so far by her initials - E.V.K.

Last week, a British holidaymaker was found dead on luxury golf course in Majorca after reportedly chasing a stray ball. Police launched an investigation following reports that the victim had suffered a fatal head injury.

The unnamed 61-year-old tourist was playing at the prestigious Son Muntaner Golf Course - considered one of the most beautiful courses in Majorca - and the only one in the Balearic Islands that is part of the prestigious European Tour Destinations association. Officers are trying to establish whether he died from an accidental fall, or was hit on the head by a stray golf ball.

Emergency services were called at around 5.45pm on Friday, September 27, at which point the Brit was still alive but in a “serious condition.” Initial calls said he had been hit on the head by a golf ball, although officials were waiting to recieve the results of an autopsy before making any further comment about his possible cause of death.
