Mallorca: A former footballer died after jumping off a 30-metre cliff

A 31-year-old man died after jumping off a 30-meter-high cliff, hitting rocks, falling into the water and drowning. The tragic episode occurred on May 13 in the city of Mallorca, Spain.The deceased is Mourad Lamrabatte, a former footballer from the Netherlands who had traveled to the Malgrats Islands to spend his holidays with his wife and two children. The scene was documented in a video that she herself filmed to, allegedly, upload to her networks.

The woman was with their children on a yacht they had rented to sail the area and the three witnessed the victim crash into the rocks before going to the bottom of the sea. In the images you can see the man at the top of the cliff, but he is not able to give himself the necessary impulse to avoid hitting the rock wall. The body of the victim was located by divers of the Civil Guard who took time to rescue him due to the depth in which he was, about 15 meters.

The autopsy determined that Lamrabatte drowned and not from the impact against the rocks, as he was unconscious and rescue came minutes later.

Lamrabatte was a footballer in the Netherlands and made his debut with the first team of Vitesse, of the Eredivisie. The club showed its condolences on social media: “Vitesse wishes Lamrabatte’s family and friends a lot of strength to cope with the great loss.” Away from football, he currently made a living as a kickboxing coach. The oldest of her children is 4 years old.
