A pregnant British woman has died after fainting at an airport in northeastern Spain, officials say.
A spokeswoman for Catalonia's regional emergency health service said the woman, believed to be 20 years old, was dead by the time an ambulance arrived at Girona airport.
She had been due to travel with her family to Birmingham before she collapsed, according to a Spanish airport authority spokeswoman.
Further details about the woman's death were not immediately available.
She has not been identified.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman told Sky News: "We are aware of the death of a British national at an airport in Girona, Spain.
"We are providing consular assistance to the family at this difficult time."
The woman's body has been taken to Girona for a post-mortem examination.
Reports in Spain offered conflicting accounts on the length of time it took for medical staff to arrive at the scene.
Some said it took 25 minutes to get to the stricken woman, while others said it was closer to 15 minutes.
An emergency services spokesman said the response time for the ambulance was considered within normal standards in such situations.
Joan Muntada of the UGT workers' union said it was considering some sort of legal action against authorities over the case after the health assistance service in the airport was closed a year ago.
