A 52-year-old British national was found dead on the premises of a private company in the village of Saraya, police from the town of Pazardjik, central Bulgaria, said on October 15 2009.

According to a police bulletin, the man's death was a suicide.

Around noon on October 14 police were tipped off about two burning motor vehicles in Saraya village.
