A young British man has collapsed on a street in Magaluf, just metres from where an Irish tourist, a father of four, was found dead and covered in mysterious bite marks less than 24 hours earlier, as revellers continued to party on the famous strip.
Paramedics rushed to the scene to help the man, described as British and in his 20s, before sending him to a local hospital by ambulance at 2am on Tuesday.
The man fell to the pavement outside Mulligan’s Irish pub, which is located on the resort’s famous Punta Bellena strip, packed with late-night bars, nightclubs and lap dancing clubs.
The spectators alerted the Spanish local police, who carried out regular patrols in the centre of Magaluf throughout the night.
Officers called an ambulance and helped paramedics lift the reveler onto a stretcher to receive treatment for suspected alcohol poisoning.
A British man in his 20s was found collapsed on a street in Magaluf outside Mulligan’s Irish pub in the early hours of this morning, just yards from where an Irish father of four was found dead and covered in bite marks less than 24 hours earlier.
Paramedics rushed to the scene on the famous Punta Bellena strip to place the man on a stretcher before loading him into an ambulance for treatment for suspected alcohol poisoning.
Michael Grant (pictured), 45, tragically collapsed and died in the middle of the same road in Magaluf in the early hours of Monday morning.
Paramedics and medical staff dressed in high-visibility orange shirts were seen loading the 20-year-old onto a stretcher in the middle of the street before strapping him down and pushing him into the ambulance.
The young man was not the only one unconscious from too much drink, as other revelers continued to party around him.
The teenagers patrolled the network of bars and nightclubs until the early hours of the morning.
Images taken at the striptease show party-goers continuing their boozy antics, dressed in fancy dress hats and sitting in restaurants with their legs up on tables.
Other photos from the scene show a man in a white T-shirt, grey shorts and trainers, passed out on a step in the party district.
You can see his back supported by the stone, while his legs hang over the edge of the ground.
Large crowds gathered on the streets outside nightclubs, as friends held back the hair of those vomiting on the ground and other partygoers walked past police cars with glasses of alcohol in hand.
But less than 24 hours earlier, Michael Grant, a 45-year-old father of four from Ireland, was found unconscious on the same street, just yards away.
Mr Grant, who was on holiday in Magaluf with his wife Leanne and at least two of their four children and other family from Ireland, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial reports suggested he died of natural causes.
But this morning it emerged that Mr Grant had suffered leg injuries consistent with being hit by a car and had bite marks on his arm and shoulder.
The Waterford physiotherapist also had a deep wound inside which glass was found.
Investigators are now awaiting the results of a full autopsy due later today to see whether it confirms initial suspicions that the holidaymaker suffered a heart attack after a heavy day of partying or points to his shock death being linked to something more sinister.
He and his group were staying at the Sol Katmandu Park and Resort before his tragic death.
He had reportedly taken a wrong turn and become separated from other members of his group after spending the afternoon drinking by his hotel pool before heading out to party.
A security guard alerted local police yesterday, telling them he had seen the man collapse and fall to the ground.
The dead man was identified by the hotel bracelet he was wearing, but also by the names of his wife and children tattooed on his back.
A spokesman for Calvià Town Hall, which is responsible for the Magaluf area, had said earlier that day that the dead man was British before it was confirmed that he was travelling with an Irish passport.

The group was staying at the Sol Katmandu Park and Resort (pictured), which is popular with families with young children.
A hotel worker also added: “Mr Grant’s family and friends were crying all morning” after hearing the news of his unexpected death.
Mr Grant was head coach of the children’s team at St Joseph’s AFC Waterford football club.
In a tribute statement posted on their Facebook page, it said: ‘It is with great sadness that we inform you of the sudden passing of our much-loved club member and Head Children’s Coach, Michael Grant.
‘As many of you know, Michael was more than just a manager to us – he was a dear friend and as a club and as his family we need time to process this devastating loss.’
Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs said in a statement: “The Department of Foreign Affairs is aware of the case and is providing consular assistance. As with all consular cases, the Department does not comment on the details of any specific case.”
