A man in his 30s has died after suffering a 'medical episode' at a city centre cafe, police have said.
Emergency services responded to the incident outside the venue on Great Ancoats Street at around 5.50pm last night.
A police cordon was put in place in the smoking area of the cafe at Islington Wharf.
Police confirmed this morning a man has died.
There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
One witness said: "I saw three normal police cars, a van, an ambulance and then a paramedic bike.
"It was quite a big response to whatever has happened. At first, it looked like a police crime scene because of how many vehicles were there.
"The smoking and seating area outside the front of the cafe was cordoned off by police."
"The paramedics and police all seemed to be working within the area at the front. It looked like there was a lot going on."
