British holidaymaker, 21, found dead in Benidorm hotel room by friends

An inquest into Harvey Dominy's death opened on Monday

A young man from Wales was tragically found lifeless in his hotel room by his friends during a holiday in Spain.

Harvey Dominy, 21, had travelled to Benidorm for a vacation with his friends earlier this month.

His group left the hotel around 7pm on Tuesday, July 16, but when they returned hours later, they discovered Mr Dominy motionless on the floor and without a pulse, an inquest opening at Pontypridd Coroners' Court on Monday (July 29) heard.

Mr Dominy was sadly declared dead at the scene, reports Wales Online.

The court was told that it is believed Mr Dominy, hailing from Merthyr Tydfil, passed away between 9pm and 10.30pm that evening. He was identified by his friends and a post-mortem examination was conducted, though it did not provide a provisional cause of death.

Kerrie Burge, the assistant coroner for south Wales central, postponed the inquest until further details can be obtained from the Spanish authorities. She extended her condolences to Mr Dominy's family.

Close to Mr Dominy's residence at Meadow Close, Cae Penderyn, his loved ones honoured him over the weekend by releasing blue balloons to the tune of Forever Young and donning T-shirts bearing his image.
