Authorities launched a quick search, but didnโt find Hampsonโs body until the next morning when nightclub workers found and alerted police.
Mossos dโEsquadra, a spokesperson for the Catalan Police, confirmed that Hampsonโs accidental death occurred after he fell โfrom a height of 10 metresโ.
Details Of The Event
The Sala Apolo club director Albert Guiharro, revealed that Hampson took a wrong turn on the way to the bathroom.
Guiharo detailed Hampsonโs final moments to Catalan radio station RAC1. He explained how the 24-year-old fell to his death but was initially unnoticed.
The director further stated how Hampsonโs movements were captured on CCTV. The CCTV footage showed that Hampson went through two emergency exits in search of a bathroom before ending up on a terrace, with no way back inside the club.
Guiharo said:
โAfter relieving himself, Hampson realises that all the doors he came out of canโt be opened from the outsideโ.
He added:
โWithout thinking about it, Hampson jumped over a wall. Tragically, the space Hampson fell into was a โvoidโ
Sadly, authorities couldn’t find Hampson’s body until late the following morning. Workers heard a phone ringing from the void area informing that they found him.
