A man has died following a paramotor crash at a golf course in Southport.
The crash happened at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club on Thursday at around 7pm.
Emergency services initially believed a microlight aircraft had been involved - but on Friday a Merseyside Police spokesman said it involved a paramotor, or powered paraglider.
Police said a man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Fire engines and the ambulance service attended along with police and screens were put up at the crash site.
A police spokesman said: "Following enquiries we can confirm the incident at Royal Birkdale Golf Course yesterday evening involved a paramotor, not a microlight as originally reported."
A police investigation is underway on behalf of the coroner to establish the identity of the man and the circumstances surrounding the crash.
There were at least four police cars and two fire engines at the scene, the Liverpool Echo reports .
Merseyside Police said at the time: "Merseyside Fire and Rescue are at the scene extinguishing the fire caused when the aircraft hit the ground."
Road closures remain in place on the Coastal Road including Shore Road and Weld Road and motorists are advised to avoid the area.
Royal Birkdale is one of 14 venues around the country that host the world-famous Open Championship golf tournament.
Established in 1889, the club last held the Open in 2017.
