Cancun (Mexico): A British tourist tried to push his girlfriend off a 13th floor hotel balcony during a drunken fight at a Mexican resort, but ended up leaping to his own death, police said on Friday.
Adrian Fletcher, 34, and his companion, also from Britain, began arguing on Thursday after an all-night drinking session with other guests at a luxury hotel in the Caribbean resort of Cancun, according to a police press release.
Fletcher then lifted his girlfriend over the balcony of their 14th floor room, but she struggled and both tumbled onto the balcony one floor below, where he again tried to throw her off, police said.
When hotel security guards intervened and threatened to shoot him, police said a naked Fletcher leaped over the railing and slammed into the deck of the hotel's swimming pool.
A police spokesman in Cancun gave no further details.
Cancun, a mass of towering hotels crammed along a narrow strip of white sand beaches, attracts young Americans and Europeans and is renowned for its flowing alcohol, debauched party scenes and warm turquoise seas.
