A second post-mortem will be carried out in Dublin today by the State Pathologist on the body of a County Antrim man who died in Ibiza ten days ago.

It follows complaints made to the PSNI by seven friends of 21-year-old Alan Drennan that he was beaten by Spanish Police at the island's airport.

According to the Belfast Telegraph, the friends claim the assault occurred while he was being detained following an incident during their flight from Belfast.

A post-mortem investigation which took place in Spain concluded that Drennan died form 'multiple organ failure,' but his family have arranged for a second in Dublin.

It cannot take place in Northern Ireland as the Coroners Service can only investigate deaths that have occurred within its jurisdiction.

His family are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.

The PSNI is assisting Spanish police in its investigation.
