Man dies after collapsing in Scarborough's Peasholm Park in unexplained circumstances

North Yorkshire Police were called to a wooded area of the park, off Manor Road, at 8.53pm on Wednesday October 26.

The man was found collapsed by members of the public who gave him CPR before being taken to hospital by ambulance where he later died.

The man, aged in his mid-30s, lived locally. His family have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.

Due to the darkness, the nearby area was cordoned off overnight to allow a day-time search to be conducted.

North Yorkshire Police said there do not appear to be any suspicious circumstances, however, the death is being treated as unexplained.

A report is being compiled for the coroner as the investigation continues.

Officers are now urging witnesses and anyone with information to come forward.
