A British tourist has been found dead in Albufeira, Portugal, on the same day the body of a missing Scottish man was discovered in the same area.
The tourist, a man in his early twenties, is believed to have died following a 'drunk' fall down steps in the Algarve resort town last Wednesday (4 June), reported Correio da Manha.
According to the Portuguese newspaper, the tourist was found at the bottom of steps on Avenida da Liberdade in Albufeira's Old Town.

Authorities said a post-mortem examination will take place in due course.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: 'We are supporting the family of a British man reported missing in Portugal and are in contact with the local authorities.'
