A British man has been found dead in a hotel garden in Turkey after plunging from a third-floor balcony.
The 41-year-old tourist was found lifeless by his girlfriend in his hotel in the town of Marmaris on the Mediterranean coast on Friday morning and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Brit and his girlfriend, who has not been named, had been seen arguing the day before his body was found, according to local media.
His girlfriend had reportedly left the apartment following their fight while he stayed in the hotel room.
She is said to have returned in the evening, but the Brit was no longer there.
The next day, she stepped out into the balcony, where she found her boyfriend lying motionless in the garden below.
Local police have opened an investigation into his death as they try to determine whether his death was an accident, suicide, or whether there was a third party involved.
MailOnline has reached out to the Foreign Office for comment.
Marmaris is a popular holiday destination on the Turkish coast among British holidaymakers, known for its stunning beaches and bustling nightlife.
The tragedy comes after a British tourist was found dead under 'suspicious circumstances' in the bathroom of his Turkish hotel last month.
The unnamed 43-year-old was found lying motionless in his hotel room by staff at the residence in the Konakli area of Alanya on Turkey's south coast.
Staff immediately called for emergency services, who declared him dead at the scene.
A forensic physician declared his death suspicious, and an investigation was launched.
Also last month, a young British mother died in mysterious circumstances while holidaying with her family in Turkey, while a UK autopsy revealed that doctors had removed her heart without her family's knowledge.
Beth Martin, 28, from Portsmouth, was rushed to hospital after she became 'delirious' just one day into a dream trip away with her husband Luke and two children, aged eight and five.
She was quickly placed into critical care but tragically passed away around a day after she was first admitted on April 28.
Beth's family claim they were kept in the dark about the seriousness of her condition and subsequent death - with Luke even being accused of 'poisoning' his wife by the Turkish authorities.
And in a further sickening development, a UK autopsy later revealed Beth's heart had been removed after she passed away in Turkey, according to a GoFundMe page set up to raise money for her family.
It is also understood the hospital where Beth was treated is now being investigated for potential negligence amid the raft of claims levelled against them.
It's understood she was allergic to penicillin, with her loved ones alleging that doctors gave her the drug before her death.
Beth's family have now been left desperately searching for answers about how and why she died - with Luke saying he has suffered the 'deepest level of trauma'.
He said having to tell his young children they will never see their mother again 'broke him' and he described the ordeal as the 'worst week of his life'.
