--- Quote ---Alton Towers worker plunged to death from Corfu balcony hours after engagement

The family of a holidaymaker who plunged to his death from a Corfu hotel balcony have led tributes to their loved-one. Stephen Willits suffered traumatic injuries when he fell to his death from the third-floor balcony.

The 45-year-old - who was 'heavily intoxicated' - had got engaged to his girlfriend just hours earlier and had been sharing the happy news with hotel guests as well as friends and family back in the UK.
