Ben's loved ones described him as a "great guy" who will be "massively missed." His pal Becky Paris said: “Honestly I just spent the majority of the evening blabbering on about how ‘it’s the kind of thing you read about in the newspapers, but think well it wouldn’t ever happen’ as it wasn’t real life.

“Today I am just absolutely heartbroken for you and your little family. No words that could make sense of it. You really were one of the good ones mate.” Peter Fordham added: “RIP Ben Clark. Devastating news and a sad loss. You will be massively missed. Condolences to all your friends and family.” Glenn Quackenbush wrote on social media: “Farewell to great guy Mr Ben Clark. It was an honour RIP.”

And Chris Jon Osman, responding to messages from one of Ben’s daughters who had written in an online tribute: ‘Love your forever dad’, said: “Couldn’t be more gutted for you, love to all your family. His memory will live on through the many peoples’ lives that he lit up. He was a great guy and a true legend.”

A spokesman for the Civil Guardsaid: "We received an emergency alert just before 2am this morning, saying a man had fallen from a height of around 15 feet in a rocky area in Cala Agulla near to Capdepera and had possibly died.

“The Civil Guard’s specialist Greim mountain and cave rescue unit was mobilised. The man’s body was recovered just after 5am. A full report has yet to be drafted by the Greim unit and an autopsy will take place. But everything at this stage is pointing to the victim dying as a result of an accidental fall.”
