Local media reported that the man died in the area not long after two pub workers were stabbed after trying to intervene in a fight between two Brits - one of whom was later imprisoned.

The victim’s body was taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine to determine the cause of death.

Clarification will be sought over whether he died from a stroke, it was reported.

According to local media, officers discovered two people trying to revive the dead man.
