The young tourist was in his 20s and had been heading to where he was staying in Albufeira.

Police said the Monks' disappearance, meanwhile, was reported to the Guarda Nacional Republicana on May 28 at around 8pm by a man who was on holiday with him. Greg, from Glasgow, had gone out drinking at bars in the raucous Albufeira strip after flying to the resort hours earlier with friends for a stag do.

Greg’s sister had urged residents in the area to check home cameras and doorbell footage between 2am and 5am on Wednesday, May 28 after it emerged the last sighting of him had been in the hill area dotted with large villas. A Portuguese police source revealed the CCTV supplied by the local homeowner had proved vital in the case. The Policia Judiciaria said the body, found on Wednesday, was located in the Cerro de Aguia area.

The police insider said today: “The GNR police force had requested help from the Polícia Judiciaria force which confirmed yesterday the missing man’s body had been found. They then got given CCTV from one of the villas in the Cerro da Aguia areas which enabled them to trace him jumping over a wall of a neighbouring property.

“With that information the searches were immediately moved to the scrubland below the houses. Sniffer that were being used by the GNR were brought in again. When the dogs were put to work in the area, around 11am, they went straight to a bush where the missing man’s body was laying.”

He is thought to have jumped over a wall and fallen down a steep cliff after becoming disorientated as he tried to head back to his holiday hotel.
