A police investigation has been launched after a British woman died in her hotel room on the Spanish island of Ibiza.

Paramedics and local police rushed to the scene, where she was found to be in cardiac arrest. Emergency responders spent approximately 40 minutes performing CPR, but she was declared dead at the scene after efforts to revive her were unsuccessful.

According to authorities: “Emergency responders confirmed the tourist had gone into cardiac arrest and spent around 40 minutes administering CPR, but she was later declared dead at the scene after the efforts to save her life were unsuccessful.”

Officers from Spain’s Civil Guard are preparing a full report for the local court, which has opened an official investigation. However, well-placed sources on the island told the outlet that there is “nothing at this stage to suggest the death was suspicious.”

Local media later reported that the unnamed woman had existing health issues and was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator — a small device placed under the collarbone that monitors heart rhythms and delivers electric impulses to treat abnormalities.
