The 58-year-old was found in his room at the City Express Hotel
A British tourist has been found dead in a pool of blood in a hotel in Cancun with his wife bleeding next to him.
The 58-year-old man was found in his room with a broken bottle between his legs and blood around the hotel room, named locally as the City Express Hotel.
His 53-year-old wife, who is also British, was taken to hospital with multiple cuts to her arms.
Prosecutors are treating the incident as a possible suicide pact which ended with only the husband taking his own life.
Sources close to the investigation said the wife has now been released from hospital.
Sources confirmed both the dead man and his wife were British.
A spokesman for the Attorney General’s office in the state of Quintana Roo said: ‘After receiving reports a foreign tourist had died in a hotel in the municipality of Benito Juarez, an investigation was launched to clarify what had happened.
‘The initial lines of investigation are pointing to this tragic incident being a possible suicide, in which two people had the intention of ending their lives.
