Woman dies in fall from houseboat

A British woman has died after falling from her boat in a marina in Majorca.

The body of Christina Marston, 43, was found in the water at Club de Mar in Palma following a search by divers and the Civil Guard on Saturday.

It had been reported that her husband raised the alarm when he awoke that day to find her missing.

The couple, originally from Southampton, Hampshire, are understood to have lived on the boat.

Police sources have reportedly described her death as an accident, with CCTV camera footage showing she was alone when she fell.

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman said: “We are in contact with the family of a British woman who has died in Majorca, Spain, and will continue to provide support at this difficult time.”
