This is the same hotel where Scottish tourist Evan Thomson died a fortnight ago – and the same town where a third Brit was killed in a car park plunge last week.
In this most recent tragedy, two ambulances rushed to the hotel when the lad fell just after midnight, but there was nothing they could do to save him.
A spokesperson for the local police said this morning: “We are investigating the death of a 19-year-old British man at a hotel in San Antonio in Ibiza.
“The alarm was raised around 12.40am this morning.
“Our officers were sent to the scene but the man in question was already dead by the time help arrived.
“The fall was from from the third floor of the hotel to an outside part of the complex.
“Court officials authorised the removal of his body at 2.40am this morning.
“The fall could be accidental based on the early information obtained from cameras but as part of the investigation possible witnesses will need to be located and interviewed.
“The results of the post-mortem will also be important to the investigation.”
The Sun has approached Ibiza Rocks for comment.
In a separate incident, Evan Thomson, 26, fell to his death at the same hotel exactly two weeks ago.
It’s understood he had been celebrating on holiday with pals following his birthday last month.
Tragically, he too was pronounced dead at the scene.
His mum Lel Kellighan broke the sad news on social media a few days later, saying: “I’m absolutely heartbroken to write and tell you all, earlier this week my son Evan was in a tragic accident whilst on holiday with his friends in Ibiza and sadly passed away.
“We are all absolutely broken. Please allow us some time.”
In the days after Evan’s death, his loved ones raised questions about safety at Ibiza Rocks, and were critical of the hotel’s handling of the situation.
Evan’s sister Teila said: “Ibiza is known for its partying and it just stuns me that they don’t have higher safety precautions.
“Pray nobody else suffers. And, once it did happen, the hotel’s response was just completely heartbreaking; almost as if it never happened. I pray no other family has to go through this.”

Friend Blair Robertson, 25, who had been with Evan before he died, claimed: “Security took us away to front desk. Paramedics didn’t arrive for about 30 minutes.
“Forensic officers didn’t speak English. We were just standing there, not knowing what was going on. Reception gave us false hope.”
Remi Duncan, 23, said: “It was disgusting. There was minimal respect for the situation, considering the music went back on soon after Evan had died. It puts a pit in your stomach.”
In a statement after Evan’s death, the hotel said: ““This is a truly tragic and extremely sad situation.
“Our senior management team onsite did everything possible to help the police with their investigation into events leading up to Evan’s death, and to provide constant support from our customer services manager to Evan’s friends.”
And a THIRD young Brit died from a fall in San Antonio last Monday.
The 25-year-old died in hospital from injuries sustained when he fell from a supermarket car park in the town the previous day.
He was rushed to an intensive care unit at a private island hospital.
The clinic confirmed he died from his injuries, saying last Monday: “Regrettably and despite all the efforts of medical personnel, the patient who fell yesterday in San Antonio has died due to the severity of his injuries.”
