A British holidaymaker was found unconscious in a hotel room in Ayia Napa and later died in hospital, sparking a police investigation into the tragedy in Cyprus.
The incident occurred around 9pm on Tuesday when officers were alerted to the situation involving the 30-year-old man. He was rushed to Famagusta General Hospital but was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival.
Authorities have dismissed the possibility of foul play, but an inconclusive post-mortem has left many questions unanswered.
The news comes amid a crisis in Cyprus’s tourism industry, which last month reported concerns among Cypriot hoteliers as they grapple with declining bookings. With an estimated 30,000 fewer visitors, the island faces a significant £30 million shortfall in tourism revenue.
This is not the first death of a British tourist to have occired this year in Cyprus. In July a UK man died after falling from a third-floor balcony at his hotel.
The unnamed holidaymaker, 45, was staying in a hotel in Paphos, on the southwest coast when the incident happened.
