Donegal teenager dies after fall on Costa del Sol

A teenager from Co Donegal died yesterday after falling from a wall in Spain.

Ryan O’Shea (19) was on holiday with his parents near Torremolinos on the Costa del Sol, where the family own a holiday home.

Mr O’Shea, a student at Sligo Institute of Technology, is understood to have fallen from a wall while on a night out.

His family is well known in the Killybegs area of Co Donegal, where they run a fishing company.

Killybegs-based TD Thomas Pringle said yesterday: "The town is stunned. It was an appalling tragedy for a family on holiday.

“Everybody’s thoughts are with the family.”

Mr O’Shea’s parents Sean and Joanne were joined by members of their family in Spain as preparations were being made to fly their son’s body home.
