A woman from Greater Manchester who fell six floors from a Spanish holiday apartment has emerged from a coma, the hotel has said.
A man who fell with her is expected to be released from hospital within a week.Jemma France, 18, from Dukinfield, and Lee Cook, 28, from Mottram, Hyde, were found lying beneath the walkway in a pool of blood by hotel staff at 3am on Thursday.
Antonio Campos, manager of the Gran Canaria hotel they were staying in, said: "The woman is very bad. It's believed she fell down first and the man was behind her and fell on top."He said they were lucky to have landed on some plastic tables and not on the rocks nearby.Hotel receptionist Isabel Bego said she heard from hospital staff that Mr Cook underwent an operation on his stomach and Miss France emerged from a coma but with many fractures to her head and neck.Mr Cook's father, Stephen Cook, only learned about what happened to his son when he got home from work on Thursday evening."I was devastated. He's a pretty quiet guy and nothing usually happens to him. We've heard he was trying to save the girl when she fell," said Stephen Cook.Friends of Miss France posted their good wishes on her Facebook social networking page.Lauren Whitehead wrote: "I love you babe! So so much... We know how strong you are, you can pull through this!
