A British couple were swept to their deaths on a hiking holiday when a 'massive wall of water came from nowhere' and cascaded down a canyon, an inquest has heard.
Sarah Jane Thompson, 26, and her boyfriend Alexander Barrett, 32, drowned in the flash floods while hiking in a gorge in Majorca on September 3 last year.
One witness told the inquest that the sound of the water was 'incredibly loud' and that it sent people 'screaming'.
Ms Thompson, from Levenshulme, south Manchester, was found dead by Spanish search and rescue teams the day after the floods.
But the search continued for Mr Barrett, a climbing instructor, who was last seen desperately trying to save his girlfriend from the sudden wall of water.
