Brit man found dead in street in holiday hotspot as police launch investigation
A police investigation has been launched after British man was found dead in Ibiza.
The man, said to be aged between 45 and 50, was already in cardiac arrest when emergency responders arrived. He died at the scene following unsuccessful attempts to revive him, believed to have lasted more than an hour.
An autopsy has yet to take place but sources close to the investigation said the possibility his death was linked to drug consumption was being investigated. The alert was raised around 12.30am this morning.
The drama occurred in the popular resort of Playa d'en Bossa, near a four-star hotel called Ibiza Twiins. The man was in the street near the hotel rather than on the beach.
There has not yet been any official comment from the National Police, the force which dealt with the incident. 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. Sources confirmed he was a British national but could not specify his exact age.

Starmer has ‘made a mistake' with plan to recognise Palestinian state
Steve Brisley from Bridgend, Wales, whose sister and nieces were murdered on October 7 and his brother-in-law Eli taken hostage, said: 'As British families of hostages and victims, devastated by the ongoing suffering of our loved ones, our emotional torture has been exacerbated by the suggestion that the UK may recognise a Palestinian state without securing the release of the hostages as an absolute precondition.

Full catalogue of failures in Titan sub disaster laid bare in new report… & ‘negligent' CEO Stockton Rush WAS to blame
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A DAMNING report into the doomed Titan sub has laid a bare catalogue of fatal failures and negligence that led to the deaths of five people. The bombshell file also points squarely at OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush as the man to blame for the 2023 disaster. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Damning report into doomed sub tragedy finds catastrophe was 'preventable' and down to a deadly cocktail of errors Credit: AP 3 The 335-page investigation, released Tuesday by the US Coast Guard, concludes the tragedy was "preventable" and driven by "critically flawed" practices, design shortcuts, and an appalling safety culture inside the deep-sea tourism company. Rush, who died in the implosion along with four passengers near the wreck of the Titanic, was found to have "exhibited negligence that contributed to the deaths of four individuals", according to the report. In a stinging assessment, investigators said had Rush survived, they would have recommended the Department of Justice consider a criminal probe. The report stated: "For several years preceding the incident, OceanGate leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company's favourable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny. "By strategically creating and exploiting regulatory confusion… OceanGate was ultimately able to operate Titan completely outside of the established deep-sea protocols." The Titan, owned and operated by OceanGate Expeditions, imploded on June 18, 2023, while descending toward the Titanic site. All five onboard - including British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Rush himself — were killed instantly under the crushing pressure of the deep.

Titan tour operator ‘leveraged intimidation tactics' to evade scrutiny
The incident resulted in the deaths of five people in June 2023 – including British adventurer Hamish Harding and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. The chief executive of tour operator OceanGate Expeditions, Stockton Rush, and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet, were also killed in the incident. On Tuesday, the US Coast Guard published a 335-page report in which identified eight 'primary causal factors' that led to the fatal implosion. British adventurer Hamish Harding was one of five people on board the vessel when it imploded (Dirty Dozen Productions/PA) The report said OceanGate had a 'toxic workplace environment' and used the 'looming threat of being fired' to prevent staff from coming forward with safety concerns. It added that analysis revealed a 'disturbing pattern of misrepresentation and reckless disregard for safety'. The report criticised OceanGate's design and testing processes and the continued use of the Titan submersible despite 'a series of incidents that compromised the integrity of the hull and other critical components'. The tour operator's former director of engineering was reported by the US Coast Guard to have said the first hull used on the Titan submersible was akin to a 'high school project'. According to the report, a contractor hired by OceanGate in 2022 voiced 'numerous safety concerns' to a company director, before being told: 'You have a bad attitude, you don't have an explorer mindset, you know, we're innovative and we're cowboys, and a lot of people can't handle that.' Authored by lead investigator Thomas Whalen and marine board chairman Jason Neubauer, it read: 'For several years preceding the incident, OceanGate leveraged intimidation tactics, allowances for scientific operations, and the company's favourable reputation to evade regulatory scrutiny. 'By strategically creating and exploiting regulatory confusion and oversight challenges, OceanGate was ultimately able to operate Titan completely outside of the established deep-sea protocols, which had historically contributed to a strong safety record for commercial submersibles. 'The lack of both third-party oversight and experienced OceanGate employees on staff during their 2023 Titan operations allowed OceanGate's chief executive officer to completely ignore vital inspections, data analyses, and preventative maintenance procedures, culminating in a catastrophic event.'
