Alone, he made his way to the Vila health centre by Uber in the early hours of this morning but rapidly deteriorated.
The Ibiza Regional Government confirmed he was transferred to Can Misses Hospital due to the severity of his condition – but suffered a cardiac arrest during the journey.
He was initially resuscitated by paramedics, but once in the hospital's Emergency Department, he suffered a second heart attack and was pronounced dead at 4.55am.
The Brit was reportedly admitted to hospital after suffering from drug poisoning, according to Diario de Ibiza.
But the Pitiusas Health Department has not officially verified this.
Ibiza, long known for its wild nightlife and beach parties, has seen rising concern in recent years over drug-related incidents among young holidaymakers.
It comes after another British tourist tourist died at the famous Ibiza Rocks Hotel on the Spanish sunshine island.
The 33-year-old woman died in her room at the adults-only hotel in the party resort of San Antonio on April 30.
Local police and paramedics rushed to the hotel, situated just metres from one of the world's most famous sunsets, after the alarm was raised around 6.30pm.
Emergency responders confirmed when they arrived the holidaymaker had gone into cardiac arrest and spent around 40 minutes practising CPR on her to try to revive her.
She was declared dead at the scene after efforts to save her life proved unsuccessful.
Civil Guard officers were preparing a full report on the tragedy today to hand over to a local court which has opened an investigation.
The same hotel was the scene of an earlier tragedy when a 19-year-old Italian tourist of Turkish origin fell to her death from the fourth-floor.
She had flown to the island the previous day and gone out partying.
She is said to have tried to been trying to reach her room via a balcony from a shared area of the hotel after realising she didn't have her key card when she lost her footing and fell.
Meanwhile, another Brit holidaymaker was left fighting for his life after a huge brawl at a nightclub on a Greek island.
The 19-year-old was reportedly punched by a fellow Brit, 24, in the party capital of Rhodes before falling to the ground and hitting his head.
The bloody Brit fled to a health clinic in the town of Faliraki but could not remember what had happened to him.
He was immediately rushed to the General Hospital of Rhodes where he had surgery for internal bleeding on the brain.

A BRIT tourist faces up to 10 years behind bars after reportedly killing a woman while attempting a wheelie on his motorbike. Brandon Mills, 22, from Doncaster, allegedly slammed into Jurairat Petchraksa, 49, outside a bar in Pattaya, Thailand before being beaten up by an angry mob. 7 7 7 7 The 22-year-old initially faced charges of reckless driving causing serious injury, which is punishable with up to three years in jail or a fine of up to 60,000 baht (roughly £1,365) - or both. But following Jurairat's death, he could face up to 10 years behind bars and a fine of up to 200,000 baht (around £4,550). Cops said the suspect was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs but did admit to causing the accident and has since compensated Jurairat's family with 30,000 baht (roughly £680) for medical expenses. Mills has since been released from custody but his passport has been seized to prevent him from leaving the country. Police Lieutenant Colonel Itthiporn said: "More evidence and witness statements are now needed for this case. "The suspect was not under the influence of alcohol or any kind of drugs but he admitted causing the accident. "We are waiting for a full forensic report from the hospital into the injuries and the cause of death. The suspect will not be allowed to leave Thailand." The Brit reportedly lost control and crashed into the Petchraska's pink Honda bike while attempting to lift the front wheel of his rented scooter. Emergency services found the mum-of-two lying in a pool of blood at around 11 pm local time on August 14 in the Soi Bong Koch 8 area of the city. She was rushed to hospital, where she was treated for life-threatening injuries. Horror moment Brit is dragged out of holiday bar and beaten by staff for refusing to pay eye-watering £460 drinks bill But despite medics' best efforts, she tragically died on Sunday afternoon. Confirming the woman's death today, a rescue officer said: "Yes, she has passed away at the hospital. We only transported her there." Officers said the Brit, believed to be involved in the crash, gave his name as Brandon James Holmes. But local news reports into previous criminal cases in the UK suggest he is actually called Brandon Mills. According to reports, Mills was convicted of dealing heroin and crack cocaine in Sheffield in 2022 and received a suspended 14 month sentence in a Young Offender Institution. Emotional tributes have since poured in for the mum who was "everyone's angel". One said: "Jurairat was like a mother to me. She was everyone's friend. I can only pray that she is in heaven now and not suffering. "I hope that there will be justice for what happened to her. She did not harm anyone, there was no reason for her to die like that. She was everyone's angel." 7 7

Moment plane passenger is detained by police to applause after row with others onboard saw flight to Alicante diverted back to the UK
This is the moment passengers on a Jet2 flight erupted into applause as police detained a man after a row with others onboard saw the flight to Alicante diverted back to the UK. The incident happened on a Jet2 flight which had taken off as normal at 6.41pm last night to fly 1,100 miles to the Spanish resort of Alicante. But the Boeing 737 had only made it 100 miles from Leeds Bradford to Leicester when the captain announced he was turning around due to 'a disruptive incident on board'. The man, who was wearing an orange T shirt and jeans, was led away by uniformed police after the furore on the flight to the Costa Blanca - which ended up delaying as many as 188 other passengers by four hours. The plane safely touched back down at Leeds airport where it had taken off from just 40 minutes earlier. Video clips taken by other passengers showed a man standing up in the aisle and seemingly remonstrating with holidaymakers including a woman who had jumped out of her seat a few rows away from him after the plane came to a standstill. The man can be seen smirking as he stood in the aisle and told another passenger: 'Put your phone down and fight one on one.' As the man he was shouting at stood up to confront him, another chimed in and said: 'You'll get kicked off as well'. The man taunted them by sticking his tongue out and beating his chest, as someone else on the plane shouted: 'Don't rise to it. Let him get chucked off.' Police officers are then seen boarding the aircraft with passengers laughing as they said: 'Look behind ya, lad! Look behind ya, big boy! You w****r!' The rowdy man's smug grin was quickly wiped off his face when he saw the cops coming towards him. He is seen pointing and shouting at the officers, before quickly making a beeline for one of the men he was arguing with and appearing to square up to him, prompting people to shout: 'Arrest him now!'. The entire flight burst into cheers and applause as the man was finally detained and escorted off of the plane, with one yelling: 'In a bit, lad!'. Another clip taken through a window of the plane showed the man talking to three officers on the tarmac as one appeared to search him. Jet2 is said to have sent passengers a message, saying: 'We are sorry that flight LS491 Leeds Bradford to Alicante has diverted to Leeds Bradford due to a disruptive incident on board. 'We are working on the situation and will update you shortly. This is an unscheduled change, so we're doing everything we can to minimise any disruption to your onward journey. Thanks for your understanding and patience.' The plane was forced to stay on the ground until it eventually took off again at 11.10pm, more than four hours after its scheduled departure time. A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: 'At 7.12pm yesterday, police were made aware of a flight which had been diverted from Birmingham to Leeds Bradford Airport due to a disturbance involving a passenger. 'Officers attended and boarded the plane on its arrival at the airport. 'A man was arrested on suspicion of an offence under the Aviation Security Act 1982. 'He remains in custody today and enquiries are continuing.' A Jet2 spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that a disruptive passenger has received a six-month flying ban with us, following their appalling behaviour which led to flight LS491 from Leeds Bradford to Alicante having to return to Leeds Bradford so that police could offload them. 'As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour.' Disruptive plane passengers risk large fines and the threat of possible criminal charges or even a prison sentence. The aviation watchdog, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), says disruptive passengers could be made to pay the cost of diverting a plane, which could easily exceed £10,000.
