(34 minutes later) | |
A woman from London has died while bungee jumping in Granada, Spanish police have said. | |
Klyo De Abreu, 23, was killed at about 15:00 BST on Tuesday in Lanjarón, according to the Guardia Civil. | |
Her aunt had been watching her take part in the jump from the Tablate Bridge "when the tragedy occurred", a police spokesman said. | |
The Foreign Office said it was "urgently looking into reports of the death of a British national in Spain". | |
A spokesman for the Guardia Civil said: "Although it is too early to draw any conclusions about the circumstances of the death, one of the lines of inquiry is that there was a miscalculation with the rope." | |
The Seaside Gazette reported the woman had hit the side of the bridge causing fatal head injuries. | |
The Guardia Civil is trying to ascertain whether or not she had jumped with an adventure sports company. | The Guardia Civil is trying to ascertain whether or not she had jumped with an adventure sports company. |
