Back in June, a British tourist died in Ibiza after reportedly taking a lethal cocktail of alcohol, painkillers and sleeping pills.

Zander Moynes, 20, from Berkshire, was found dead by friends in his hotel room.

It is believed he enjoyed a night out on the party island and, after finding it difficult to get to sleep, decided to take some painkillers and sleeping pills to help.
