Waterford man dies while holidaying abroad

An Irish tourist has died having collapsed whilst in the Spanish resort of Magaluf at 4.30am this morning.

A man in his 40s was found unresponsive in the resort's Martin Ros Street near the Punta Ballena strip after the alarm was raised around 4.30am this morning.

WLR News understands that a man is a native of County Waterford, and his next of kin have been informed.

A security guard alerted local police, telling officers he had seen the man collapse and fall to the ground.

Attempts to revive him at the scene proved unsuccessful and he was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.

An autopsy is due to be carried out in the next few hours.

A Civil Guard source said: 'This death does not appear to be crime-related in any way but the autopsy will be key to determining what happens next.'

WLR has contacted the Department of Foreign Affairs for comment.
