A British cyclist has been discovered dead in a popular tourist spot, sparking an investigation by authorities. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, was riding a road racing bicycle in the residential neighborhood of Gran Alacant, situated just south of the city of Alicante. The incident occurred yesterday morning on Mediterranean Avenue, a bustling road near Carabassi Beach.
Local police, Civil Guard officers, and emergency medical personnel responded to the scene, where the cyclist was pronounced dead. Witnesses reported that he fell off his bike while ascending a hill and was not struck by any vehicles on the road. Authorities are examining whether a sudden health problem may have contributed to the tragedy, as reported by a local newspaper in Santa Pola.
It remains unclear whether the cyclist was a resident of the area or a visitor. This incident follows a recent fatality in Majorca involving a British cyclist named Phillip Williams, who tragically passed away during a cycling event. Additionally, another British individual was hospitalized after a serious bicycle accident on the same Spanish island in May.
