British father, 62, dies 'while go-karting with his children in Spain'
A British father has died while reportedly go-karting with his children in Spain.
The 62-year-old is said to have gone into cardiac arrest while he was with his two children at a track near the town of Ciutadella in Menorca.
He and his children had been visiting the outdoors go-kart track, Castillo Menorca, on Sunday, which describes itself as the holiday island's largest of its kind.
But at around 3pm, the man is believed to have gone into cardiac arrest while his wife remined in the villa the family were staying in, located in Cala En Porter in the south of the island.
Paramedics scrambled to the scene of the incident and attempted to revive him for over an hour.
But tragically, they were unable to save him.
It was not immediately clear if the British man lived on the island or if he was holidaying there, and police are yet to make any comment.
A post-mortem is expected to take place tomorrow.
It comes after a British father-of-one died in front of his father and friends while celebrating his stag do in Benidorm after he collapsed at a bar in March.
The groom-to-be, 29, from Halifax, was enjoying drinks at the Funky Flamingo bar when tragedy struck, sparking a major response from emergency services.
Bar manager Gaston Luciano told MailOnline in April how the Briton fell backwards off a bar stool and hit his head.
And last month, CCTV footage emerged showing the final moments of a British father-of-four who plunged to his death from a Benidorm cliff in 2023.
The video showed devoted father Nathan Osman, 30 - who was holidaying in Benidorm with friends - walking steadily along the Spanish resort's famed seafront just hours before he was found dead at the bottom of a 500ft cliff.
Spanish authorities ruled Nathan's death was an accident or that he had possibly taken his own life - but his family immediately suspected foul play.
His brother and sister turned detective to trawl through CCTV evidence, gather witness statements and access phone and bank records in a bid to force police to reopen the probe.
In their search, they managed to find footage of Nathan at 4.08am walking alone along the party resort's promenade 'looking fine' before he was found hours later at the bottom of a cliff.
