Authorities say a British tourist was stabbed to death in Margate over the weekend, the Associated Press reports.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office says Paul Ritch was on a two-week vacation to the United States and was with some friends from New Jersey. The 37-year-old went to the beach, ate dinner and visited some night spots.
Police responded to an emergency call about 2 a.m. Sunday near North Washington and Monmouth avenues. Ritch was taken to a hospital and pronounced dead about an hour later.
The medical examiner says Ritch suffered a single knife wound to his heart.
There's no word on a suspect and the murder weapon has not been recovered.
