Serious Accident in Son Gotleu: Man Falls from Roof

In Palma, a serious accident occurred in the early hours: A middle-aged man fell from several stories into the courtyard of a residential block in the Son Gotleu district. According to eyewitnesses, the incident happened around 7:30 a.m., as neighbors were already opening their windows and someone was brewing coffee.

Rescue services worked for a long time at the scene. Paramedics and an emergency physician arrived within minutes. In front of the building, helpers began a prolonged resuscitation before the man was stabilized and taken by ambulance to Son Espases hospital. According to emergency services, his condition is critical.

Attendees described that the man apparently was on the roof and seemed to be trying to move from one section to another. In doing so, he apparently lost his footing and tumbled into the depths. Whether it was an accidental mishap or another cause is still open.

The police have cordoned off the area over a wide radius. Investigators are securing traces and speaking with neighbors and rescue workers to reconstruct the sequence of events. A technical expert is reportedly on the way, according to police sources, to examine the condition of the roof and possible causes of the fall.

Several residents of the building expressed being affected. 'I heard a dull thud and then shouts from the courtyard', says a neighbor who wishes to remain anonymous. Others reported hectic scenes and the rapid arrival of the responders.

Such accidents remind of how dangerous work or excursions on rooftops can be – especially in older buildings with complex access routes. Authorities urge caution and ask not to enter unsecured areas.

The investigations continue. As soon as more precise information about the course of events or the health status of the injured is available, authorities will inform. Until then the courtyard remains cordoned off and the neighborhood discusses quietly what happened this morning.

What remains: A person lies severely injured in hospital, neighbors are shaken, and the police are seeking answers. For Son Gotleu, it was a quiet but dramatic morning.
