British woman, 65, falls to her death from hotel in Crete while on holiday with her husband

A 65-year-old British tourist has fallen to her death while holidaying with her husband at a hotel in Crete .

She had been staying at the hotel in Hersonissos before the tragic incident took place, local media reported.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and she was hospitalised in a critical condition at the Venizelio hospital.

Medics intubated her and she was transferred to an Intensive Care Unit where she succumbed to her injuries on Wednesday.

It came after another British tourist died while swimming at a tourist hotspot in Cyprus on Thursday.

The 62-year-old was pulled from the water at a beach in Peyia, western Cyprus, after he disappeared from sight, SigmaLive reported.

He was brought to the shore where emergency crews performed CPR on him. He was then rushed to Paphos General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Tributes have separately been paid to a British influencer who fell to his death while climbing a bridge in central Spain for an Instagram video earlier this week.

Lewis Stevenson, 26, died while illegally scaling the 630ft (192m) high Castilla-La Mancha Bridge in Talavera de la Reina early on Sunday morning.

He and a friend are understood to have been climbing the structure without a harness for a social media video.

Mr Stevenson’s girlfriend, Savannah Parker, last spoke to him hours before his death.

She told MailOnline: “We spoke at half eleven and the last thing he said to me was, ‘Good night, I love you’.

“He messaged me at half five to say ‘Good morning’ with three kisses. I didn't see it until quarter to eight.”

Mr Stevenson is understood to have fallen to his death around 7.15am on Sunday local time (6.15am in the UK).

Friends and members of the free climbing community have shared tributes to him.

One friend wrote on Instagram: “Knowing you has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. And losing you is the greatest sadness of my life. No amount of words on a stupid Instagram post will ever describe how much I miss you.”
