while on a stag do in Portugal is thought to have fallen down a ravine to his death after he jumped a fence while lost, according to police. Greg Monks, 38, disappeared during a stag party
in the tourist trap of Albufeira in the early hours of May 28, sparking a desperate search that saw his heartbroken parents and girlfriend fly out to help find him, reports the Mirror. Greg
was last spotted on CCTV in the residential area of Cerro de Aguia, located roughly four miles away from the main bar area and it is believed he was trying to return to his hotel. On
Wednesday, Portugese police confirmed that the body of a 38-year-old man had been discovered in the search for Greg. Sources from law enforcement said investigators believe Greg, from
Glasgow, got lost and fell to his death as he tried to get back to his hotel. Authorities said that having investigated possible paths he may have taken, they tragically found a body in the
Cerro de Aguia area where he laid undiscovered for a week in high temperatures. The police source added: “There is nothing at this stage to indicate this man’s death was linked in any way to
a crime. But we need to wait for the autopsy results to conclude that is the case.” Article continues below He added: “Our belief is he lost all notion of where he was after drinking
heavily and finding himself in an unfamiliar place, and that he jumped over a wall and fell to his death.” Forensic officers have been seen at the ravine where Greg's body was found,
gathering evidence. Authorities had said that the body was found "on a vacant and very uneven terrain" and that it was taken away for an autopsy. Following the heartbreaking news
that the body had been found, Greg's sister Jillian paid a heartbreaking tribute calling him "an amazing boy". JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news
