British tourist dies on Majorca golf course after fatal head injury that could have been caused by 'stray ball'

He was found alive but in a “serious condition” on Friday at around 8pm.

The tourist sustained a nasty head injury after trying to find a stray ball.

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.”

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.

Officials are yet to confirm exactly how the man died.

However, an autopsy has been scheduled for this weekend.

The National Police Homicide Unit’s local branch has been tasked with heading up the investigation.

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

It is also considered one of the most beautiful courses in Majorca.
