Brit man found dead in the street in Ibiza: Police 'probing drug consumption'
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 investigation said the possibility his death was linked to drug consumption was being investigated.
The alert was raised around 12.30am this morning.
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.
Sources confirmed he was a British national but could not specify his exact age.
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'.

Lamborghini driven by Liverpool's Jota in fatal crash was probably speeding, police report finds
MADRID, July 8 (Reuters) - Liverpool's Portuguese forward Diogo Jota was probably speeding when the Lamborghini car he was driving crashed in northwestern Spain, killing him and his brother, police said in a preliminary report on Tuesday. The forensics team is analysing the marks left by one of the car's wheels on the asphalt that suggest a tyre burst and whether that and excessive speed caused the crash, police said in a statement. Having concluded their investigation, police will send the report to the local court before it is made public. Jota's death at the age of 28 sent shockwaves through the world of soccer and beyond, with messages of condolences pouring in from national leaders as well as fellow football players. Jota and his brother Andre Silva, who played for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division, were believed to have been driving to a ferry in Spain to travel to Britain when their Lamborghini veered off the road and burst into flames after midnight on Thursday. They were buried in their hometown of Gondomar in northern Portugal on Saturday.
