British man found dead in Spanish resortPA


Spanish police are investigating the death of a British man in the Spanish resort of Lloret de Mar.

The BBC reports that the man, who is reported to be a 26-year-old Scot, was found in the street.

Police are working on the theory that he was found after a disturbance during a stag weekend. A fight was reported to have taken place outside an all-night bar, about an hour before his body was found.

A spokesman for the Foreign and Commonwealth Office said: "We can confirm the death of a British national in Spain.

"We are providing consular assistance to family and friends at this sad time. The Spanish authorities are investigating."
