A British man has been found dead near his family holiday home in Portugal.
Police began looking for the 28-year-old on Friday, after relatives said they were unable to get in contact with him.
The search in the area around the village of Saboia, just above the Algarve, was called off yesterday following the discovery.
Officers had been joined by firefighters and used drones and sniffer dogs in the hunt.
Today, officials were unable to confirm exactly where the unnamed Briton’s body was found.
But the search is understood to have first focused on the area around the rural property where the he was spending time, before being expanded to dense woodland close to the banks of the Mira River.
The results of the autopsy are unlikely to be publicly released but police sources said today the death was not believed to be crime-related.
Local reports said the British man, who is understood to have travelled to the holiday home every year, had unspecified health problems.
Village residents said he was not well known in the area.
Although the police search only began on Friday, he is thought to have been reported missing two days earlier.
Earlier this month a British man named only as Steven Michael B was found dead more than a week after Spanish mountain rescue police were mobilised to help look for him near the northern Spanish village of Las Salas.
The 48-year-old vanished on July 11 after a row with his wife and was found on July 21 in the village church bell tower.
Well-placed sources said ahead of an autopsy they weren’t looking for anyone else in connection with keen mountaineer Steven’s death.
Apprentice bricklayer Jay Slater, 19, disappeared on June 17 near the Tenerife village of Masca and his body was found nearly a month later.
He is believed to have fallen in mountains after becoming disorientated and suffered fatal injuries including head wounds.
