Tributes are being paid to 19-year-old Jack Walsh who died days after falling 39 feet from a Santa Ponsa balcony.

A 19-year-old Limerick man has died after falling from a hotel balcony in Santa Ponsa on the Spanish island of Mallorca. Jack Walsh, from Askeaton in Limerick, had flown in to meet with friends just hours before the 39-foot fall.  

His distraught parents Tony and Sandra and triplet sisters Orla and Tara flew to be by his side after the fall in the early hours of Tuesday morning and on Friday made the decision to turn off his life support after maintaining a vigil at his bedside in Son Espases Hospital.

Tributes are being paid to the teenager who was well-known in soccer circles in Limerick. His local club has also sent their condolences.
