A British tourist has been found dead after going diving off the coast of the Spanish island of Mallorca.
His lifeless body was pulled out of the water by the Malgrats Islands Natural Reserve, a short drive from the holiday resort of Magaluf.
A Civil Protection boat made the discovery and brought his remains to the Santa Ponsa Yacht Club.
He is understood to have been wearing just a mask and swim shorts when he was found.
The alarm was raised around 4pm on Tuesday and the local Civil Guard launched an immediate investigation to identify him.
Spanish sources on the ground said this afternoon that he was British, but this has not been confirmed officially by the police.
It was not immediately clear if had been holidaying in Mallorca or was a resident of the the island.
Reports earlier this week – before his nationality emerged – had described him as being aged between 60 and 70.
A police source said this afternoon: ‘The death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage.’
Officials have not yet said if the man drowned, or they think he suffered a health problem before getting into difficulties.
