A BRITISH man has been found dead in a pool of blood in his hotel room in Cancun, Mexico.
His 53-year-old wife was found lying beside him with multiple lacerations to both of her arms.
Detectives raced to the scene after the alarm was raised at a city hotel just after 5am local time this morning.
Initial unconfirmed reports pointed to a possible crime of passion.
Local prosecutors have said that an investigation is still ongoing but that they are currently treating the incident as a possible suicide pact which ended with only the husband taking his own life.
