The 56-year-old expat, who lived in the Lo Pagan area, was one of two women fatally injured in last Thursday’s blast.

She was reportedly visiting the weekly market when she was caught in the horror explosion.

Her death was confirmed today by the local town hall in a post on X.

The second victim, named Hind, was a 38-year-old Moroccan woman and the bar’s owner, El Español reported.

She suffered severe burns and died after being hospitalised for a week.

The two women had been fighting for their lives in the hospital along with others who were injured in the explosion, which occurred around 12:15 pm, throwing the area into turmoil.

Shocking new details have emerged suggesting the blast may not have been an accident.

A Judicial Police inspection concluded the gas cylinder’s seal had been “sabotaged”, according to reports.

Locals have claimed the bar had long been a source of trouble in the neighbourhood.

“There were numerous altercations outside,” a resident informed 20Minutos, adding: “Girls were frequently seen in the vicinity,” leading to speculation that it might have been operated as a brothel.

Incredible moment missing Brit castaway Mary Gavin waves desperately at passing ship sparking rescue after 5 days at sea

The cause of the deadly blast is still officially unknown.

Police investigations are ongoing.

It comes after a British woman who vanished for four days after renting a boat in Formentera has been found alive.

Mary Gavin, 39, sparked a major search last Wednesday when she failed to return a 15-foot motorboat to a local rental company.

Dramatic footage captured the moment she waved frantically at a passing vessel while floating in the sea wearing a life jacket.

She was finally rescued on Saturday after ferry passengers en route to Valencia spotted her and raised the alarm.

Gavin was taken to hospital for treatment.

Alejandro Rosera, one of the passengers on the ferry that rescued her, said that she was dehydrated and had severe sunburn.

Ms Rosera added: “When we were about to pass by Formentera, we were told there was an emergency and we had to turn back.

“Later on, we saw a woman on board a small boat. “She had a life jacket on and another in her hand, making gestures.

“She was dehydrated and sunburnt and had mouth sores.

“Once we got to Valencia, a large number of police and health professionals were waiting for her and assisted her immediately.”

Last year, four men — including two Brits — were rescued after spending four days lost at sea near Tenerife.

They were found dehydrated and drifting 60 miles off the coast.

They made a Mayday call to alert local ships after being stranded in the sea for days.

A Panamanian-flagged ship along with a Spanish Civil Guard vessel is said to have responded by heading to the area they were in.
