Anna Florence Reed, 22, was discovered lifeless in the bathroom on Tuesday at 7am hours after an alleged violent row with her lover, 29, who has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
The Brit’s devastated family are flying out to Locarno, southern Switzerland, today, The Sun can reveal.
Worried guests at the four-star hotel had alerted staff and the night porter was sent to the room to calm down the situation after shouting and screaming was heard.
But it has since been reported that her boyfriend, who is said to live in Zurich, had confessed to killing her by accident during an erotic game.
A post-mortem examination confirmed that Anna suffocated to death while she also had small cuts and fractures on her body, reports local media.
Police said a 29-year-old German had been arrested and a prosecutor was investigating a charge of intentional murder.
The couple arrived at the £200-a-night La Palma au Lac beside Lake Maggiore in Locarno on Monday.
SUFFOCATED TO DEATH
The recently refurbished 100-year-old hotel is renowned as the location for the Locarno Film Festival.
But a hotel employee said: “There was a huge row between the couple the night before the woman was found dead.
“Other guests complained and the night porter had to go up and calm the situation down.”
Paramedics were called to the hotel the following morning but Anna was declared dead at the scene.
Initially, no signs of violence were found but a post-mortem examination yesterday found she had suffocated.
