A young British holidaymaker was mysteriously found dead in his hotel room during a break in Benidorm, an inquest heard.

Harvey Dominy, 21, was discovered on the floor of the room after his friends returned from an evening out in the Spanish party town.

An inquest was told emergency services were called after they couldn’t find a pulse, but Mr Dominy was pronounced dead at the scene.

The hearing was told his friends went out around 7pm and they found Mr Dominy, of Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales, on the floor when they returned hours later.

The court heard it is estimated that Mr Dominy had died at some point between 9pm and 10.30pm that evening.

A post-mortem examination was carried out but didn’t provide a provisional cause of death.

Assistant coroner Kerrie Burge adjourned the Pontypridd inquest until further information is obtained from the Spanish authorities.

Friends paid tribute to Harvey with a balloon release near his home at the weekend.

Liam Greenaway wrote: ‘I honestly don’t know what to say, I’ve honestly lost a part of me, my right arm you was my bro.

‘You was so special to everyone but most important to me, honest the best boy ever [you] was brother.’

Kooler nightclub in Merthyr Tydfil encouraged revellers to raise a toast to Harvey while playing ‘Forever Young’ last weekend.

In a post the venue said: ‘We at Kooler Nightclub are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Harvey Dominy.

‘His vibrant energy and unwavering support brought joy to everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.’

A family friend has set up a fundraiser for Mr Dominy’s family that has raised more than £13,000 since it was set up ten days ago.
