A British holidaymaker has been found dead inside a rented apartment at the popular holiday destination Goa, according to a report in the Daily Mail.

John David Tagg, aged 36, was discovered by locals at the flat in Siolim village, about 15 km from Panaji, the capital of the Indian state.

Police plan to question a person from the United Arab Emirates, a friend of Mr Tagg's with whom he was celebrating Christmas and New Year.

Early reports suggested he may have died in his sleep, but police have refused to confirm the exact cause of death until after a postmortem has been carried out.
