A police investigation has been launched in Ibiza after a British man was found dead on the Spanish island.
The Brit, said to be aged between 45 and 50, was already in cardiac arrest when emergency responders arrived at the scene near the popular resort of Playa d’en Bossa.
He died at the scene following unsuccessful attempts to revive him.
An autopsy has yet to take place but sources close to the probe said the possibility his death was linked to drug consumption was being investigated.
The alert was raised around 12.30am on Monday.
The man was found in the street near four-star Ibiza Twiins hotel.
There has not yet been any official comment from the National Police, but officers are expected to offer information tomorrow.
It is not yet clear whether the British man was on holiday on the island or lived locally, although he is thought to have been a tourist.

MailOnline has approached the Foreign Office for comment.
The tragedy comes just weeks after a British tourist tragically died on his sun lounger while relaxing on a Greek paradise island beach.
The 73-year-old man was found by fellow beach-goers at the spot in Agia Paraskevi, Skiathos last month.
They alerted a lifeguard who provided first aid and called the emergency services, according to local reports.
A doctor from a nearby health center tried for 40 minutes to revive the tourist but unfortunately was unable to do so.
The man’s cause of death is unknown, and an autopsy is being carried out.
A FCDO Spokesperson said: ‘We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Greece and are in contact with the local authorities’.
