A British woman has died after crashing into a bridge as she bungee-jumped in front of her aunt during a dream Spanish holiday.
Kleyo de Abreu, 23, was killed instantly after jumping off of a modern bridge near the mountain village of Lanjaron and smashing into the old stone Tablate Bridge below.
The horrific incident took place at around 2.45pm on Tuesday afternoon and left Miss de Abreu dangling lifeless from the rope as her relative watched on in horror.
Her father Bernard Atwell yesterday said relatives are in shock at the death of the aspiring fashion and design student, who he described as 'sweet, caring, bubbly and focused'.
An investigating judge has already launched a probe into the tragedy.
One of the theories being investigated is that the tragedy happened after a miscalculation relating to the length of the rope.

Location: Kleyo de Abreu was killed instantly after bungee jumping off the top steel bridge and smashing into an old stone Tablate Bridge below near the mountain village of Lanjaron
The tragedy occurred around 2.45pm Tuesday afternoon at the Tablate Bridge near the mountain village of Lanjaron. She was doing her second jump of the day with a local adventure sports firm when the tragedy struck.
A spokesman for the Guardia Civil in Granada told the Press Association: 'The dead woman is a British 23-year-old from London called Kleyo de Abreu.
According to her Facebook page, Miss de Abreu moved to Brixton in south London in March.
The spot she jumped from - a 20-year-old metallic bridge crossing high above the River Tablate - is around 260 feet above an ancient Roman bridge which she smashed into.
Mr Atwell said his daughter had been visiting her aunt Gabriela and cousins in southern Spain after travelling in Morocco.'She was originally from London and had returned recently from living in Cape Town in South Africa to follow her passion and study fashion,' he explained.
'My primary concern is for people when they are just having fun...My daughter is gone and nothing is going to bring her back, but I have spoken to the family and we are all on the same page - we don't want something like this to happen again,' he added.
'Every father will say this but she was very special, she was a very beautiful young woman who had all her life ahead of her... She was 23 years old but to me she will always be my little baby and I would very much like to make sure this doesn't happen again to anybody else,' he went on.
Miss de Abreu and Mr Atwell were only reunited last year after more than 20 years apart,
according to the Sun.

According to witnesses, Kleyo was left dangling lifeless from the rope as her relative watched on in horror
A spokesman for the Guardia Civil in Granada confirmed that Ms De Abreu's aunt was present when she died.
He said: 'Although it is too early to draw any conclusions about the circumstances of the death, one of the lines of inquiry is that there was a miscalculation with the rope.'
Tablate Bridge has a drop of 262ft and is a popular bungee jumping site used by several adventure sports firms.
Thrill-seekers fall for about 65ft and swing underneath the bridge, with a first jump offered for around €35 (£24.50).
One website claims that bungee jumping from the bridge is a 'hair-raising' experience due to the closeness of the ravine walls during the fall.
Another boasts: 'If you want a huge dose of adrenaline this is your bridge.'
Lanjaron is about 35 miles from Granada on the southern flanks of the Sierra Nevada mountain range and is famous in Spain for its mineral water.
The region is popular with expats and near to the hippy village of Orgiva, which attracts people living alternative lifestyles from all over the world.
The Foreign Office said it was liaising with the Spanish authorities and had contacted the family to offer support.
