The body of a Co Antrim man who died in Ibiza has been flown to Ireland.

Alan Drennan was found dead in his hotel room earlier this month. His friends claim he was beaten by Spanish police officers at the airport.

A post-mortem examination carried out in Spain found the 21-year-old died from "multiple organ failure".

The State Pathologist here in Ireland will carry out a second post-mortem examination of Mr Drennan's remains tomorrow.

BBC reports that the Northern Ireland Coroners Service cannot undertake the second examination as it does not have the authority to investigate deaths that occurred outside its jurisdiction.

Mr Drennan Jr was a mechanic and doorman from Newtownabbey.

The PSNI has said it is assisting Spanish police in the investigation into the death.
