A British tourist has died after falling through a glass door in Majorca.
Police discovered the 26-year-old’s lifeless body at a rented house in Santa Margalida in the north of the holiday island at around 7.30am.
He was found with shards of glass from a door embedded in his head.
Authorities have already questioned several other people at the house, including four men and two women. Their nationalities have not yet been made public.
They reportedly told police they had been out partying and continued consuming drugs and alcohol after returning to the property in the early hours.
A well-placed police source said: ‘We are focusing on the theory that the victim died in a tragic accident after hitting his head against the glass door, but it is still too early to say definitely what happened.’
No arrests are thought to have taken place.
An autopsy is due to take place in the coming hours in the Majorcan capital, Palma.

The ongoing investigation is being led by the Civil Guard.
Santa Margalida is a municipality and historic agricultural town in the northern part of Majorca, a short distance from places like the Bay of Alcudia and about 30 miles from Palma Airport.
Yesterday, it emerged that a missing British man had been found dead on a Costa del Sol beach.
Police, coastguards and Red Cross officials had been searching for the 25-year-old for nearly three days after a young man described at the time as a ‘foreigner’ was seen entering the sea at a popular beach in Malaga called Misericordia Beach.
The alarm was raised late last Wednesday, just before 10.30pm, after he failed to exit the water.
A man’s body was found at the neighbouring Huelin Beach early on Saturday morning, on the sand and out of the water, but it was not immediately clear if he was the same person feared missing.
Yesterday, police sources confirmed the body was that of the man seen entering the sea and revealed he was a British national.
It was not immediately clear today if he had drowned or died of other causes, and the results of the autopsy, which will be sent to an investigating magistrate at a local court, are unlikely to be made public.
A spokesman for Spain’s National Police confirmed the unnamed man’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
He said: ‘The person found dead is the same one who went missing three days earlier.
‘There is nothing pointing to any evidence of criminality.’
