A man has died after falling three floors from a balcony at a Butlin’s holiday park.
Bartosz Urbaniak, 29, suffered a traumatic brain injury following the fall during a booze-fuelled ‘Big Weekender’ event at the Skegness holiday park.
Witnesses claim the dad-of-one was trying to climb from one balcony to another when he lost his footing and fell.
A trained nurse who was also attending the ‘Back to the 2000s’ weekend rushed to give him emergency CPR until the air ambulance arrived.
He was flown to Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham and died two days later.
Following his funeral last week, partner CJ Beckingham paid tribute to Mr Urbaniak – known as Bart to friends.
She wrote: ‘Saying goodbye to you for the very last time was something I never imagined I’d have to do.
‘You had the biggest heart and a soul far too kind for this world. Please watch over Layton, he’s your mirror, your legacy, and he carries your light in everything he does.

‘Until we meet again, know that you’ll always be loved, missed, and remembered.
‘Life will never be the same without you, but we’ll keep your memory alive and make you proud. Fly high, my love.’
Last month the Greater Lincolnshire Coroner opened an inquest into his death with a cause given as a traumatic brain injury alongside multiple other traumatic injuries resulting from a fall from a third floor balcony.
He was pronounced dead on September 30 – two days after the fall – with the death confirmed by his mother Urszula Urbaniak.
Lincolnshire Police said officers were called to the site after a report was made for the man’s safety at 12.14pm on Sunday, September 28.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and he was believed to have suffered a ‘medical episode’ following the fall.
Video showing the air ambulance taking off from Butlin’s was posted on social media, with one poster claiming there had been reports that a man had been out on one of the balconies when he ‘attempted to free climb from one apartment block to another’ to reach his friends.

The poster added that the man had fallen ‘from a reasonable height’ and that a member of the public performed CPR on him.
Witness Kirsty Bradberry added: ‘The air ambulance landed in the apartment block next to me and my friends!
‘So sad that it seems he has passed, thoughts go out to his family and friends x.’
Butlin’s did not respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
It is not the first fatal incident during the party weekend.
In 2019 a 52-year-old man from Bedford died after he was punched in the face in a bar during a big weekender event in Bognor Regis, West Sussex.
And in 2007 a murder inquiry was launched after Rebecca Gore-Bond, 19, from Caerphilly, South Wales, was found at 3am with fatal injuries.
Police arrested a 26-year-old, also from Caerphilly, but he was later released without charge after the death was deemed non-suspicious.
