Reports suggested that the British tourist was hit on the head with a golf ball.
However, officers now believe it is likely he suffered from a heart attack before falling to the ground and banging his head.
A spokesman for the National Police in the Majorcan capital Palma said: “Everything is pointing to the death being from natural causes.
“It appears he suffered some cardiac episode before the fall.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Attempts to save the 61-year-old lasted for around half an hour.
The tourist’s friends were reportedly watching on in shock.
The group were said to have gone looking for the tourist and found him unconscious on the ground with his head badly wounded.
