A holidaymaker died in Ibiza after falling over a cliff as she jumped up and down with excitement after her boyfriend proposed.

Police say Dimitrina Dimitrova lost her balance after her partner asked for her hand in marriage at a beauty spot famed for its romantic sunset views.

The 29-year-old, from Bulgaria, suffered a heart attack brought on by injuries caused by the 65ft fall in the tiny resort of Cala Tarida on Ibiza’s west coast.

She was alive but unconscious when paramedics arrived but died at the scene minutes later.

A local Civil Guard spokesman said: “Everything is pointing towards the death being the result of a tragic freak accident.”

A source said: “Her boyfriend lived and worked on Ibiza.

"She had arrived two days earlier to visit him and look for work.

“She fell seconds after her partner surprised her by proposing to her as she jumped up and down with emotion.”

It is believed the dead woman’s devastated waiter boyfriend had singled out the beauty spot to make his marriage proposal.

Last August a Polish couple fell to their deaths while taking a selfie at a cliff’s edge in the popular tourist spot Cabo da Roca, Portugal.

Their children, aged fix and six, witnessed the accident and were taken into care before returning to their homeland to live with relatives.
