This is the last picture of Irish tourist Michael Grant who collapsed in the street and died in Magaluf in the early hours of Monday morning.

Pictured with his sister-in-law Lilian sitting on an outside terrace on Sunday, the father-of-four from Waterford appears to be enjoying his holiday break in Majorca.

The 45-year-old physiotherapist jokingly holds up his fist as Lilian does the same.

But just hours later the dedicated family man collapsed and died in the street close to the resort’s notorious Punta Ballena party strip.

He had been struck by a car in a hit-and-run incident shortly before he blacked out, a medical examination has found.

The football coach had also consumed ‘cocaine and a large amount of alcohol’ in the lead up to the accident, it was discovered.

Today Mrs Grant, who is married to Michael’s brother Alan, told of her heartache at his sudden death.

In a post on Facebook, Lilian wrote:

‘Can’t believe I’m posting this, our last pic [picture] om Sunday Mick xx, two messers as usual, my bro [brother] in law, my child’s god father, my husband’s best friend, the biggest buzzer, father of my beautiful nieces and nephew, we are crushed, devastated, lost, beyond words.’

Lilian added she and other member of the tight-knit Grant family would care for Michael’s devastated widow Leanne and his children.

She wrote: ‘I promise we will mind Leanne, Shay, Sofia, Kayley and Niamh forever. Love you xxxx.

‘Sleep tight Uncle Michael xx.’

Last night it emerged that Mr Grant was discovered lying on the ground just yards from a notorious crime hot-spot where boozed-up tourists are targeted by muggers.

Police investigating his death have revealed that the Irishman had been in a brawl in the hours before his death.

Medical examiners found bite and scratch marks on his shoulders and chest consistent with having been in a fight and a cut to his back with glass still inside, as well as injuries to his knees and leg from being hit by a car.

Mr Grant is believed to have taken a wrong turn and become separated from other members of his group after spending the afternoon drinking by his hotel pool before going out partying.

Thieves pounce on unsuspecting holiday-makers in the early hours of the morning as they weave their way back to their hotels from a night-out on Magaluf’s infamous Punta Bellena strip, a bar owner has revealed

Owner of the Bar Redondo Daniel told : ‘There are a lot of street robberies here last at night.

‘Gangs of thieves wait for tourists who have had too much to drink and then they attack.

‘There are often fights. It has been going on for years.

‘The police know all about it but they do nothing about it.’

The investigation into Mr Grant’s sudden death continues.
