Two British tourists have reportedly died on the Algarve after jumping into their holiday apartment pool after a night out.
The alarm was raised around 4.30am this morning at a hotel-apartment in the party resort of Albufeira where two British men died last month.
Emergency responders sent to the scene made unsuccessful attempts to revive the two men.
Police are said to be working on the theory the pair, aged 27 and 29, got into difficulties because they had been drinking and didn’t know how to swim.
Portugal’s Policia Judiciaria have been asked by colleagues at the GNR police force to investigate the circumstances surrounding the men’s deaths but they are not being treated as suspicious at this stage.
Local reports emerging from Portugal suggest the two men who died this morning were both British and were holidaying with friends.
Portuguese police could not be reached this afternoon for an official comment.
