The deceased was identified as Christopher, a resident of the US, Sadar police station SHO Pradeep Singh said.
He had arrived in Jodhpur on Tuesday with a group of four others -- an Australian and an American couple.
"They had checked in Haweli Guesthouse in the walled city, where he was allotted a separate room, while the two couples checked in two separate rooms," Singh said, adding that he skipped dinner on Tuesday citing ill health and preferred to rest.
"We broke into the room and found him lying dead on the bed," Singh said.
After preliminary investigations, the police intimated the US Embassy and sent the body to the mortuary of MDM Hospital, where a medical board will conduct post-mortem.
The group had started from Kochi in two auto-rickshaws and had arrived in Jodhpur via Udaipur on Tuesday.
They were to leave for Jaisalmer from here, police added.
