A British tourist has died after falling from his hotel balcony while on holiday in Turkey.

The man, 22, reportedly fell from his fifth-floor hotel room during a holiday with his 33-year-old girlfriend in the tourist hotspot of Antalya.

Police and medics rushed to the scene in the district of Alanya, with the seriously injured tourist being taken to hospital.

He later died of his injuries despite doctors' best efforts to save his life, according to reports.

Following the incident, the man's girlfriend is said to have been taken to a police station before later being released.

A fundraiser has been set up to help the family of the young man bring him back to the UK.

A Foreign Office (FCDO) spokesperson said: 'We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Turkey.'

The death comes just days after another British holidaymaker died in Turkey. 

The 73-year-old suffered a suspected heart attack after jumping into the sea during a coastal tour in Marmaris, Mugla Province.
