A British tourist has died from a head injury at a popular golf course in Majorca.

The 61-year-old man, who hasn’t been named yet, was found in a serious condition at Son Muntaner Golf Course.

Despite attempts to save him by paramedics he died at the scene.

Police are investigating whether he died from an accidental fall or may have been hit in the head with a golf ball. A post-mortem is set to take place over the weekend to confirm the cause of death.

Local reports said he disappeared whilst playing with a group of friends and going after a stray ball.

They went looking for him after he failed to return before finding him unconscious on the ground.

The alert was raised at about 5.45pm local time on Friday, and emergency responders raced to the scene to find the man had gone into cardiac arrest.

Attempts to resuscitate him lasted for around half an hour but were unsuccessful.

Investigators from a local National Police Homicide Unit have been tasked with trying to get to the bottom of what happened.

There has not yet been any official comment from the police force in charge of the ongoing investigation.

Son Muntaner is described online as a golf course that ‘offers both players and enthusiasts a unique experience they won’t forget’.
