The couple had arrived just six hours before the accident
A dad is now fighting for his life after a horror fall from a hotel balcony in Lanzarote due to an undiagnosed chest infection.
Friend Toni Albiston, who has launched a GoFundMe appeal, said Dan was flown over to Gran Canaria - a flight medics feared he might not make - and had surgery to relieve pressure on his skull. She said: "Dan was on the balcony and Ashleigh was inside the other room talking to her sister. This was on the first night. They had only been there for about six hours or so.
Ashleigh returned home to Stockport and the children two days ago. Dan is now stable but can't talk or communicate.
