Scottish woman, aged 18, ‘ecstasy death’ on Ibiza

The 18-year-old died from heart failure early on Tuesday after being rushed into hospital on the party island.

A Scottish teenager his died on holiday in Ibiza after an apparent drugs overdose.

But her family cast further doubt on the claim yesterday.

Andy said yesterday: “She was in bed since Friday”.

Danielle had also recently shared an image of her bruised face, captioning the image: “Stay aff at drink kids [sic]”.

A spokesman at the hospital told STV News doctors believe drugs “may have played a part” because of the symptoms she showed.

However, her family have labelled the reports as “rubbish” saying she suffered a fall on Thursday and had been recovering in her hotel room since then.

He said: “We won’t know for months what caused her death”.

“We’ve also spent all day at the British consulate”.

Danielle McCallum, 18, from Greenock, died in the Spanish island’s Can Misses Hospital on Tuesday morning.

Sources close to the case said she had been rushed to the hospital from a health clinic in San Antonio where friends had told medics she had taken ecstasy in the run-up to the weekend and felt ill in the following hours and days but had not sought immediate medical attention.

It is understood she was in a critical condition and was fighting for life before she passed away around two hours later. Tissue samples will be sent to a specialist lab in Barcelona so a comprehensive study can take place.

A spokesman for the Guardia Civil said: ‘An investigation is underway’.

Friends and family have taken to social media to pay tribute to Danielle.

One relative wrote: “Today has taught me to appreciate everything I have, got the best mates and family in the world”.

“Saying that I’m going to miss you millions doesn’t even cut it, don’t have the words to explain how I feel about the whole situation”.

“What an wonderful girl you were…so kind hearted, amusing n just all round brilliant!”

“We won’t know for months what caused her death”, he said.
