He tragically died at the scene following unsuccessful attempts to revive him - believed to have lasted more than an hour.
An autopsy is yet to take place - but sources close to the investigation said the possibility his death was linked to drug consumption was being investigated.
The alert was raised around 12.30am this morning.
The tragedy occurred in the popular resort of Playa d'en Bossa, near a four-star hotel called Ibiza Twiins.
The man was in the street near the hotel rather than on the beach.
There has not yet been any official comment from the National Police - the force that dealt with the incident.
Officers are expected to offer information tomorrow.
It is not yet clear whether the Brit was on holiday on the island or lived locally, although he is thought to have been a tourist.
Sources confirmed he was a British national but could not specify his exact age.

Customers at certain shops now have to knock on the door and be let in by a security guard PHONES LOCKED O2 phone shops in high risk areas locking their doors after spate of armed robberies by crime gangs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PHONE shops in high risk areas have been forced to lock their doors to customers after a spate of armed robberies by organised crime gangs. O2 has confirmed a 'locked door' policy is now in place at a number of high street stores across the country in response to the terrifying raids - including Richmond in south-west London, The Strand in central London and St Albans, Herts.

The Sun found staff at the shop in St Albans on Friday were operating a one in one out system, only allowing up to three members of the public in at a time. According to a source, they were forced to bring in these measures after two terrifying robberies which left staff members fearing for their lives. They said: 'At the end of February we had an attempted robbery. Three guys came in and tried to force their way into the store room. 'I saw them, all with their faces covered, out of the corner of my eye and I thought I was done for. 'We suspected they had a weapon and they were trying to force staff back there to open the door - the police came that time and they didn't manage to take anything. 'A few months before in October the shop was actually robbed, they took thousands of pounds worth of phones. 'There were two customers in the shop at the time, and because of the threats and the suspected weapon it was decided that the door would be locked. 'No one should come into work and be scared they're going to be stabbed over a phone - no one wants to lose their life over just a phone. 'It has affected trade a little, but you know now all the people coming in have the intention to buy and it makes staff feel safer while helping them so I think it's worth it.' Moment phone snatcher receives instant karma as he's knocked off his bike by furious Londoners In May, the O2 shop in Richmond was targeted by two armed men, with one swiftly arrested by police. Just a few months before in February, the same shop was raided by armed thieves who forced staff into the store room and made off with a number of mobiles. An O2 spokesperson said: 'In response to a growing number of thefts at stores in certain areas, we have introduced a 'locked door' policy at a small proportion of our stores, including in St Albans. 'These stores remain fully open for our customers, and the only difference they will experience is that instead of opening the door themselves, it will be opened for them by a security guard. 'This decision has been taken to prioritise the safety of both our employees and our customers, as well as the security of our stock. 'We are working closely with law enforcement, and with other providers who are facing similar issues, to tackle this problem.'

Here, Karren gives her expert advice to a reader who had to dismiss a negligent apprentice. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Karren Brady gives you career advice Q) I run a pet-grooming business and the safety of our animals is of the utmost importance. I employed an apprentice, ensuring I gave him plenty of training and detailed instructions. But after a few months, I noticed he was cutting corners and leaving pets unsupervised. After speaking to him about this on numerous occasions, I eventually had to dismiss him. Now he has a vendetta against me, claiming his role was meant to be work experience for his veterinary course. He has threatened to get his university involved, as well as his parents, saying I've been unfair and unprofessional. While these are baseless claims, it's a lot to deal with. What can I do? Kara, via email A) You absolutely did the right thing by putting the safety of the animals you look after first, however difficult the conversations with your trainee were. Apprentice star Karren Brady terrified after burglar launched FOUR raids on £6m home in 16 hours taking designer gear In roles that involve trust, responsibility and the wellbeing of animals or people, there is no room for repeated carelessness. To protect yourself and your business going forward, keep thorough records of everything – specific incidents, reminders, one-to-one conversations and any formal or informal feedback you've given, along with dates and times. If you are contacted by your former trainee's family or university, respond professionally and stick to the facts. Make it clear that the dismissal was due to consistent breaches of safety protocols and not a personal grievance. If he continues to make false or harmful claims, report his actions through the appropriate channels as harassment or defamation. You've built your business on high standards, care and professionalism – don't let this situation shake your confidence or distract you from what you do so well.

Mum of Brit, 25, who vanished in Sardinia a year ago says she's living through ‘never-ending nightmare'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE mother of a Brit man who went missing in Sardinia a year ago has said she's been "broken" since his disappearance. Michael Frison suddenly vanished on the Italian island, where he had just arrived to do volunteer work on a farm, in July 2024.

"I'm trying not to lose my mind," she said as she recounted the last time she heard his voice. "He was in a rush but absolutely clear in his speech, I didn't detect any confusion in his state of mind." Michael, 26, vanished on 13 July 2024, just the day after he arrived on the Mediterranean island. read more in world news FLOOD CHAOS Flooding leaves cars underwater and turns streets to rivers at hols hotspot Cristina, who is from Somerset, told the broadcaster: "Human beings do not disappear from the face of earth without leaving traces unless … something extremely bad happened to them." Her son had reportedly gone for a walk, and returned in a confused state and showing signs of heatstroke. After this, he went for a second walk - from which he never returned. His clothes and trainers were later found close by. Michael's mum told Sky News is was "extremely unlikely" he would suffer heatstroke as he had lived on the island before. It would also be "completely out of character" to wander off barefoot and leave his belongings behind, she added.

Cristina, who is originally from Sassari in the island's northwest, said she is "extremely worried because there are no traces of Michael". Although a local investigation into his whereabouts is ongoing, Michael's mum wants Interpol to step in to help with the search. "It's a never-ending nightmare," she said. "There's no real accountability... I am here and I am broken." Cristina said that "during the past 12 months, the area was constantly searched, through woodland, caves, mountains" - but nothing was found. She is also calling for a woman from Jersey who is believed to have been with Michael in the days leading up to his disappearance to come forward with any available information. One of her friends previously set up a GoFundMe to help with the search that raised more than £10,000. The money was aimed at supporting various costs including travel, legal fees and awareness campaigns. Cristina further told Sky of the impact Michael's disappearance has had on his younger half-brother Emanuele. Emanuele's father died back in 2017. "He's devastated," she said. "The three of us were extremely close, the two of them, they used to do everything together." She added that for him "it's horrible, he lost his father and now he lost his brother." 5 Michael's mum told Sky News is was "extremely unlikely" he would suffer heatstroke as he had lived on the island before Credit: Facebook/@Cristina Pittalis
