A British official has been murdered in Jamaica, says the Foreign Office.
John Terry was the British honorary consul in the popular tourist destination of Montego Bay.
A Foreign Office spokeswoman said it was in close contact with Jamaican police, who were "investigating the circumstances of his death".
According to reports in Jamaica, police do not believe at this stage that there was an attempt to gain entry by force to Mr Terry's home.
As Britain's Honorary Consul based in western Jamaica, John Terry specialised in helping British tourists who had got into trouble.
Mr Terry had worked in the tourism industry for around 30 years and was made an MBE in 1992.
"We can confirm the death of the British honorary consul," the Foreign Office spokeswoman said. "Our sympathy is with the family at this difficult time."
