Phillip Williams, 39, died after a fall despite attempts by emergency medical responders to save him. He suffered his accident on the road between Esporles and Valldemosa as he took part in the gruelling Mallorca 312 event which this year featured the likes of former Chelsea and Real Madrid star Eden Hazard. A police probe into the tragedy was ongoing today, with investigators saying it was too early to confirm whether Mr Williams had died because of the injuries he sustained after coming off the road and crashing into railings or if it was linked to a previous health problem he suffered that led to the fall.
