A BRITISH man has been found dead in a ‘blood-soaked room’ of his home in southern Spain.

The 35-year-old was discovered by the Guardia Civil in Mojacar, Almeria at around 11pm on Sunday.

The body showed signs of a severe head trauma, while the walls and floors were covered in blood, sparking an urgent police investigation.

Local government minister Pedro Fernandez told a press conference today that there was an ‘incised-blunt wound on the forehead of around 4-5cm.’

While preliminary investigations point to an ‘accidental’ death, police are not ruling out anything at this stage.

The autopsy will determine whether the death was an accident or the result of an attack, reports Spanish newspaper Ideal.

Fernandez insisted that ‘absolutely no theory is ruled out’.

One lover of the deceased has already been questioned, but Fernandez said they have been ruled out as a suspect.
