Brit tourist found dead in hotel garden in holiday hotspot as cops launch investigation

A BRIT holidaymaker has been found dead in a hotel garden in Turkey, prompting cops to launch a probe.

The 41-year-old tourist was found in his hotel in the Marmaris district of Muğla, before medical teams rushed to the scene and pronounced him dead.

The hotel he was staying at was in the Armutalan neighbourhood.

His lifeless body was located on Friday morning.

Medical teams quickly pronounced the man dead at the scene after rushing to the site of the tragedy.

Marmaris Chief Public Prosecutor's Office have now launched an investigation into the incident.

They will investigate the man's exact cause of death after a Muğla Forensic Medicine Institute report.

Police arrived at the scene and made an initial evaluation of the scene.

It is believed he was found at the bottom of a set of stairs in the garden leading to his room.

Marmaris is a particularly popular destination for tourists, especially Brit holidaymakers.

The resort town sits along the Turkish Riviera and is known for its stunning beaches and waterfronts.

It also boasts a busy nightlife, a range of beach activities and even several British eateries.

It comes after a Brit mum died while on holiday in Turkey before being repatriated without her heart.

Turkish officials broke their silence last week over Beth Martin's mysterious death and allegations her heart was secretly removed by doctors.

Tragic Beth, 28, from Portsmouth, died after suddenly falling ill as she flew into Istanbul for a dream holiday with her husband.

She was rushed to Marmara University Hospital - which is rated two stars by users on Google - where she tragically died.

And she is alleged to have had her heart removed without her family's permission - with them not knowing until she returned to the UK.

But the Turkish Ministry of Health has now released a statement denying allegations that her heart was taken out.

It comes as her family are desperately seeking answers over the death of the mum-of-two.
