Young dad falls 30ft from Lanzarote hotel balcony due to undiagnosed pneumonia

A young dad fell from the third floor of a hotel balcony while on holiday in Lanzarote after suffering from pneumonia. Dan Boyle is now fighting for his life after falling 30ft.

The 31, was on holiday in Lanzarote with his girlfriend, when he tumbled over the wall off the balcony. He was given CPR by another holidaymaker and was taken to hospital, where doctors discovered Dan had undiagnosed pneumonia.

They believe his lungs filled with fluid because of the chest infection which made his heart stop beating and then made him tumble over the balcony. Dan, an engineer, suffered a fractured skull, a fractured breast bone, a torn kidney and broke his ribs in the horror 30ft fall.
