In recent days, European TV news broadcasts have suggested that the investigations into the deaths at the Ibiza Rocks Hotel may include the possibility that new, unknown drugs are involved, currently being analyzed by specialized laboratories. No names or details have been released, but the mere fact that this is being discussed indicates that the search for molecules not yet classified is among the investigative leads. This scenario ties in with what was already documented by the EU-MADNESS study (2010–2016), which analyzed 58 drug-related deaths in Ibiza: 87.9% male, average age 33, with a significant proportion of British citizens; half of the cases involved stimulants (MDMA, cocaine), 24.1% depressants or prescription drugs, and 22.4% polydrug use. Twelve percent of those deaths were due to falls from height, often in recreational settings, with altered states of consciousness and reduced risk perception. The coincidence between the historical "balconing deaths" and the recent incidents in the same hotel clustered in a short period of time opens up the possibility of a common factor: an environmental context with high exposure to psychoactive substances, where the potential appearance of NPS (new psychoactive substances) not yet detectable in standard tests could further increase disorientation, loss of coordination, and suppression of fear, thus raising the risk of fatal actions. There is no official confirmation yet, but the convergence of historical data, recurring dynamics, and the hypothesis put forward by TV news makes it plausible to ask whether we might be witnessing the emergence of a new chemical variable in the phenomenon.
