A 53-year-old man from Liverpool has appeared in court charged with manslaughter after the death of a woman on Good Friday.
Jill Hughes, 57, also from Liverpool, died after an alleged assault on Friday night outside the Palace Hotel and Casino on Central Promenade.
John Meadows, of Verney Crescent, Allerton, Liverpool, appeared at Douglas Courthouse this morning before High Bailiff James Brooks.
They were visiting the island with family when the alleged incident occurred.

Due to the seriousness of the allegations, Mr Brooks said he could not hear the case, which will be committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery in May.
The lower court is also unable to hear a plea at this time.
Mr Meadows has been remanded in custody at the Isle of Man Prison until his next appearance on Tuesday, April 9.
