THE family of a Scots woman who died after falling from the tenth floor of an apartment building in Benidorm have said they are "under no illusion that the search for answers may last a long time".
The family of Kirsty Maxwell, 27, of Livingston, West Lothian, who died in the 100ft fall on April 29, travelled to Spain in search of answers over her death and said on their return they had moved a step towards uncovering the truth about her death.
The family including her husband Adam, father Brian, mother Denise and brother Ryan met with Spanish legal officials, police and the mayor of Benidorm and spoke about how their “beautiful girl’s” death has “changed their lives forever”.
The family posted on the Kirsty Maxwell Information Appeal Facebook Page: "We are still working towards discovering the truth about Kirsty's death and this visit was another step towards that result.
"We are under no illusion this may last a long time but we will continue to press for answers regarding Kirsty's tragic and unexplained death.
"We and so many others miss Kirsty every day, her death and the unclear circumstances in which this happened have changed our loves forever."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
