The family of a British man who died after an altercation at a Majorcan nightclub has welcomed a UK coroner’s investigation into his death.
Tobias White-Sansom died in a Spanish hospital in July five days after a night out in Magaluf.
The 35-year-old’s family dispute the findings of local investigations into his death.
His relatives said they were pleased a UK coroner will now examine evidence collected by the Spanish authorities.
Lorraine Thompson said her “amazing” son – a father-of-two from Nottingham – was pinned down by nightclub security staff following a row over him removing his T-shirt because he was too hot.
She told the BBC the Spanish Civil Guard – the Guardia Civil – were called and her son was handcuffed, tasered and injected with tranquilisers before going into cardiac arrest.
He was taken to hospital where he was kept in an induced coma before doctors advised his life support be switched off on 31 July.
