Overview

• The 21-year-old Briton was discovered naked at the bottom of steps on Avenida da Liberdade in Albufeira’s Old Town on June 7 and police have classified the case as non-criminal pending an autopsy.
• This death follows the June 4 discovery of 38-year-old Scot Greg Monks’s body after he vanished during a stag weekend, marking two British fatalities in the resort in under ten days.
• Investigators believe both incidents stem from disorientation and suspected excessive alcohol consumption rather than any intentional wrongdoing.
• Residents and business owners have voiced frustration over rising street drinking, public nudity and noise as Albufeira’s nightlife draws large numbers of hen and stag parties.
• Mayor Jose Carlos Polo has proposed fines up to €1,250 for public nudity, urination and similar offences to rein in reckless behaviour in the Algarve resort.
