A man has died after falling from a balcony at a popular holiday park after reports that he lost his footing.
Bartosz Urbaniak, 29, suffered trauma to the brain after plunging to the ground at the Big Weekender event at the Skegness Butlins. Witnesses claim the dad-of-one attempted to climb from one balcony to another before plunging to his death.
A trainee nurse who was at the event rushed to give him CPR until the air ambulance arrived during the incident that took place at around 12.15pm on September 28.
He was rushed to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham but despite medics’ best efforts, tragically died two days later. His girlfriend later paid an emotional tribute to Bartosz, who she described as having “the biggest heart and soul”.
She said: “Saying goodbye to you for the very last time was something I never imagined I’d have to do. You had the biggest heart and a soul far too kind for this world. Please watch over Layton, he’s your mirror, your legacy, and he carries your light in everything he does.
“Until we meet again, know that you’ll always be loved, missed, and remembered. Life will never be the same without you, but we’ll keep your memory alive and make you proud. Fly high, my love.”
Last month Greater Lincolnshire Coroner opened an inquest into his death with a cause given as a traumatic brain injury alongside multiple other traumatic injuries resulting from a fall from a third floor balcony, reported the Mail.
Lincolnshire Police also reportedly said they were called after a report was made for the man’s safety at 12.14pm on September 28, and the death is not being treated as suspicious and he was believed to have suffered a medical episode following the fall.
