Two British men are believed to have drowned after they were found dead in a hotel pool in Portugal.

The victims, aged 27 and 29, were found by a friend at the bottom of a swimming pool at the Duas Palmeiras hotel in Albufeira in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

According to local tabloid Correio da Manhã, both appeared to be intoxicated and did not know how to swim.

Emergency services were called at around 4am and attempted to revive the pair, but both men were declared dead at the scene.

Preliminary investigations by Portuguese military police suggest there is no suspicion of foul play in the deaths.

Another British tourist was found dead in the party town on June 4 the same day the body of a missing Scottish man was discovered.

The tourist, a man in his early twenties, is believed to have died following a ‘drunk’ fall down steps in the Algarve resort town, reported Correio da Manha.

The 38-year-old Glaswegian went missing on 28 May after travelling to Albufeira with his friends for a five-day stag do.

Mr Monks was last seen at 3.27am near the Cerro de Aguia area, more than an hour’s walk from the Albufeira Strip, where he is believed to have left his friends.
