A 41-year-old Moroccan man has died at the Nuestra Señora de La Candelaria University Hospital, just 24 hours after he was detained by the Adeje Local Police at a hotel in Costa Adeje for showing aggressive and uncontrollable behaviour towards hotel staff.
The incident took place shortly before 10:00pm on Thursday night in a hotel located in the El Beril area, between El Duque beach and La Enramada. The complex's private security personnel alerted the police reporting that there was a man in a very violent state who wasn’t responding to their requests for him to calm down.
In fact, they said that he jumped from four metres high to confront them. According to the security guards it seemed as though he was under the influence of narcotic substances, as he also he insistently asked to be given water.
