British Father Dies in Fall From Torremolinos Hotel Balcony Hours Before Baby’s Death Anniversary

An investigation is under way in Spain, with the family arranging repatriation.

Overview

  • Robert Davidson, 37, died after falling from a sixth-floor balcony at the Sandos Griego hotel in Torremolinos late last Tuesday.
  • His fiancée, Daniella Robb, says he returned to their room before midnight, kissed the children, and then went onto the balcony where he fell.
  • Family statements describe the death as suicide, while police sources have indicated the case is being examined as a possible accident.
  • The family had flown to Spain on February 1 seeking distance from the first anniversary of their baby daughter Hollie’s death from SIDS on February 4.
  • A GoFundMe for repatriation has raised around £10,000, and the UK Foreign Office says it is supporting the family and liaising with local authorities.
