The only reminder of the tragedy is a bunch of flowers laid in tribute.
Even more unsettling is the fact Tom was the THIRD British tourist to plummet to their death from the complex in four months.

Brit tourist Thomas Owen Hughes fell 65ft to his death in Magaluf after ‘jumping over wall thinking corridor continued on the other side’
Tom Hughes, 20, from Wrexham, North Wales, died in June in startlingly similar circumstances to Tom Channon, falling from the same spot.
In April, Natalie Cormack, 19, from West Kilbride, Ayrshire, fell from the seventh floor.
She died after trying to edge her way along an overhang around a locked door after she discovered she did not have keys to get in.
That the two lads died after falling from the same place just weeks apart has incensed Tom Channon’s already devastated family.
How, they demand to know, did they manage to meet the same fate in such a short space of time? Why are the police dragging their heels? And why has nothing been done to make sure it does not happen again?

Dad John Channon, 67, a business consultant, from Rhoose, Vale of Glamorgan, flew to Magaluf this week.
He told The Sun: “So many questions and theories have been going around in my mind.
“Why did two identical deaths happen here, in a short space of time, with boys the same age who look very similar? It just doesn’t feel right.
“I arrived the day after my son’s death and there was no cordoned-off area, no sign of an investigation and no safety measures put it place.
“It’s as if the police had made up their minds about what had happened.
“It is a complete insult that over one week after my son’s death, no attempts have been made to make the building safer. How many more needless deaths must there be before somebody acts? Even something as simple as a fence or a danger sign has not been put up.
“If action had been taken when Tom Hughes died, then my son would probably still be alive today.”
The Eden Roc apartment complex is in Magaluf, on the south-west tip of MajorcaOnly last Friday did Calvia Council, which oversees the party resort, write to representatives of the complex to demand they fence off the most dangerous areas at the block.
The owners will be given a month from receipt of the council letter to come up with a longer-term plan to improve safety.
But they will also have the right to appeal if they feel the changes being demanded are unreasonable.
Andreu Serra, the deputy mayor of Magaluf, insisted local police and the Civil Guard were carrying out a “detailed investigation to understand the basics of what happened”.
We must get justice, I will never stop fighting

Tom Channon was holidaying with pals to celebrate finishing his A-levels and died just one night into his trip.
The Sun visited the exact spot where he and Tom Hughes are said to have fallen from. The danger is immediately evident.
Walking through the main entrance, several steps lead to a large courtyard surrounded by a wall of about knee height. Beyond the wall’s side is dense foliage, giving the impression there is a garden at the same level.
This “garden” is in fact the top of vines and shrubbery crawling up from what looks like a quarry 70ft below.

Police believe both Toms mistook the Eden Roc flats for the neighbouring hotel they were staying in and, taken in by the illusion a garden was on the other side, stepped over the wall.
Initially, officers said Tom Channon fell from a balcony — but there are no balconies on that side of the building.
The cops’ approach has infuriated John, who flew to Magaluf with brother-in-law Stephen O’Brien, 53. He said: “It feels as if the authorities were quick to lump Tom’s death in with the drunken balcony deaths which are sadly common in the resort.
“They told us he may have been trying to cross the ‘garden’ to the hotel next door, as a light shines through at night from that hotel.”
