Police in Scarborough are investigating the sudden and unexplained death of a man at Peasholm Park.
Emergency services were called to a wooded area of the park, off Manor Road, at 8.53pm on Wednesday (26 October 2022).
The man was found collapsed by members of the public who gave him CPR.
He was taken to hospital by ambulance where he sadly died.
The man is aged in his mid-30s and lives locally. His family have been informed and are being supported by the police.
