It comes just days after another Brit tourist died while on holiday in Turkey.
The 73-year-old man had a heart attack moments after he jumped into the Red Sea on a sightseeing boat trip.
He was with a group of friends in Marmaris, Turkey when he went to cool off in the water and was unable to get back on board as his horrified friends watched as he struggled.
Those on the boat quickly called the emergency services as they frantically tried all they could to help their pal.
The Brit was pulled from the water by a team of coastguards, cops and divers in two separate boats.
He was rushed to shore where paramedics desperately tried to revive him but was tragically declared dead on the beach moments after he arrived.
His body was transported to the local Marmaris State Hospital morgue.
The forensic medicine institution is now looking into the shock death to determine exactly what caused his heart attack.
Medics believe he could have suffered cold water shock when he entered the water.
The shock can occur when a person faces a rapid drop in temperature as their blood vessels close up and increase blood pressure.
