A BRITISH woman has died following a suspected “domestic accident” at her home in Majorca.

The 55-year-old, described locally as a former British Airways air stewardess, was found by her husband after he returned from a work trip away.

The woman’s distraught partner, also believed to be from the UK, dialled 999 but there was nothing emergency responders could do to save her when they arrived and they pronounced her dead at the scene.

Police were today investigating 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.

The alarm was raised around 10.30pm.

Local police were mobilised along with emergency medical responders.

The 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.

She has only been identified locally so far by her initials – E.V.K.
