Police are investigating the death of a British woman on board a £27m superyacht that was moored inMallorca.
The 29-year-old was found in one of the vessel's cabins on Sunday night. Paramedics rushed to Palma, where the yacht was moored, but the woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy was expected to take place on Tuesday as Civil Guard investigators seek to establish what happened.
No obvious signs of violence were found on or near the body of the woman, but a forensic expert and police officers were unable to determine her cause of death ahead of a post-mortem.
A source close to the investigation said: "Everything is pointing to her death being the result of natural causes. At this moment in time, it is not being treated as a crime although the results of the autopsy are still pending."

Police are not expected to name the woman. She is understood to have been a crew member believed to help with maintenance. The alarm was raised by colleagues, who went to check on her after she failed to respond to messages or answer calls.
The vessel has been identified as Lind, a custom-built motor yacht said to cost nearly £300,000 a week to charter in the high season.
The Cayman Islands-flagged 170ftsuperyacht, built in the Netherlands with an exterior design by the award-winning Tim Heywood, has a top speed of just over 15 knots and can accommodate up to 10 guests and 13 crew members.
Its facilities include an open-air cinema, jacuzzi, gym and inflatable trampolines.
The superyacht's current owner is reported to be Peter-Alexander Wacker, a German billionaire who owns around 10 per cent of chemical company Wacker Chemie AG.
