A coroner confirmed he died from drowning at Puntizela beach.

His body was sent to a local hospital for a post-mortem to figure out the circumstances of his death.

The festivalgoer was partying with friends when he decided to have a bath in the sea and never came back, police said.

Croatian cops arrested four other British citizens for selling drugs at the same festival.

Local prosecutors told The Sun Online: "An autopsy on the body of a British citizen who died on the beach in the Puntizela area in Pula, Croatia was carried out by the competent state prosecutor's office.

"The cause of death will be known after performing toxicological examination and histological analysis."

Authorities hope the tests will establish any other circumstances that may have led to the drowning.

Cops said: "As far as identity data is concerned, the official procedure for identifying a person's identity is still in progress and so far we can not provide this information."

Dimensions is an electronic music festival which ran in Fort Punta Christo from August 29 to September 2.

The cops are yet to say whether they think foul play was involved.
