But at around 3pm, the man is believed to have gone into cardiac arrest while his wife remined in the villa the family were staying in, located in Cala En Porter in the south of the island.

But tragically, they were unable to save him.

It was not immediately clear if the British man lived on the island or if he was holidaying there, and police are yet to make any comment.

It comes after a British father-of-one died in front of his father and friends while celebrating his stag do in Benidorm after he collapsed at a bar in March.

The groom-to-be, 29, from Halifax, was enjoying drinks at the Funky Flamingo bar when tragedy struck, sparking a major response from emergency services.

Bar manager Gaston Luciano told MailOnline in April how the Briton fell backwards off a bar stool and hit his head.

And last month, CCTV footage emerged showing the final moments of a British father-of-four who plunged to his death from a Benidorm cliff in 2023.

The video showed devoted father Nathan Osman, 30 – who was holidaying in Benidorm with friends – walking steadily along the Spanish resorts famed seafront just hours before he was found dead at the bottom of a 500ft cliff.

Spanish authorities ruled Nathans death was an accident or that he had possibly taken his own life – but his family immediately suspected foul play.

His brother and sister turned detective to trawl through CCTV evidence, gather witness statements and access phone and bank records in a bid to force police to reopen the probe.

In their search, they managed to find footage of Nathan at 4.08am walking alone along the party resorts promenade looking fine before he was found hours later at the bottom of a cliff.

After pleading their case to Spanish prosecutors in March, a judge ruled a homicide investigation should now begin.
