A British tourist has died after suffering breathing problems at a hotel during a holiday in India.
The 61-year-old was staying at the Pachkunda Hotel in Pushkar, northern India, when he experienced breathing problems on April 26, according to local media reports.
The British man was taken to a nearby hospital for initial treatment and was later transferred to another facility, where he passed away on Monday.
A local police chief said the man's body was kept at the hospital and that investigators were waiting on the family's consent before going ahead with the post-mortem examination.
