Police said after they suspected the holidaymakers had been trying to play a practical joke on a friend using an aerosol and a lighter.

The cost of the hotel blaze, which led to more than 100 guests on two floors being evacuated and seven tourists trapped on balconies being rescued by firefighters, has been put at more than £170,000 by police.

On Sunday Welshman Tom Hughes, 20, died at a nearby apartment block he is thought to have mistaken for his hotel.

On April 27 Scots bar worker Natalie Cormack died at the same apartment block as Tom – Eden Roc in Magaluf – after trying to edge her way along an overhang around a locked entrance door after she discovered she didn’t have keys to get in.

She plunged the equivalent of seven floors.

A glass panel has since been erected at the spot where she died in a bid to avoid a fresh tragedy.
