A British high society tycoon has been found dead at his luxury villa in Marbella, MailOnline has learned.

Tarik Wildman, 65, was found dead just hours after returning from a car rally in Italy.

A close friend told MailOnline that he died on Sunday at his home in the upmarket and gated La Virginia complex.

He said all signs point to natural causes being behind the death, but that an autopsy will shed more light on what happened.

MailOnline has contacted the local police and authorities in Marbella for comment.
