The alarm was raised just before 7am on Wednesday, Correo da Manha reports.

An autopsy has already taken place but results have not been made public.

It’s understood Portuguese cops are not treating the death as suspicious.

Police have not said whether the Brit was staying at a hotel in Albufeira.

It comes after the body of a Scottish tourist who had been missing for seven days after vanishing during a night out in Albufeira was found.

Greg Monks, 38, from Glasgow, had gone out drinking in the Albufeira strip after flying to the resort hours earlier with friends for a stag do.

He is thought to have jumped over a wall and fallen down a steep cliff after becoming disorientated as he tried to head back to his holiday hotel.

The plant mechanic was found by police at the bottom of a ravine on Wednesday.

Sister Jillian Monks, 36, told the Daily Record: “We are truly heartbroken. Everyone who knows Greg knows how much he will be missed and what an amazing guy he was.”

Greg’s sisters revealed the “alarm bells” moments after he vanished from the party hotspot.
