A British tourist has been found dead under ‘suspicious circumstances’ in the bathroom of his Turkish hotel room. 

The 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. 

MailOnline has contacted the UK’s Foreign Office for comment. 

It comes just weeks after a British tourist died in a horrific paragliding crash along with his pilot in Turkey.

The Briton, 22, and his pilot, 29, leaped from a 6,500ft mountain at the Babadag paragliding spot in Fethiye in a tandem jump.  

But shortly after take-off their parachute broke and they plunged onto the rocks at the steep mountainside, according to Turkish media reports.

Other paragliders in the area alerted emergency services about the crash, with rescuers rushing to the scene only to discover that the British holidaymaker and the experienced pilot had died.

Their bodies were taken to a nearby hospital morgue for autopsy. 

Local authorities have launched an investigation into the accident, with officials examining the crash scene and the paragliding equipment.

All paragliding flights from Babadag were temporarily suspended following the incident.
