"A man was pronounced dead at the scene.
"His family have been informed.
"We are not treating the death as suspicious."
Neighbours told of their shock after it was confirmed the man had died.
James Langham, 28, said: “We saw they had cordoned the road off and they put green tarpaulin up.
"There were two fire engines, police cars and an ambulance.
"There was a helicopter going round as well. But he died?
"That is horrible. There were lots of people standing around in the road.”
Richard Gregg, 34, added: “I saw when the fire engines came and the helicopter was circling looking for a place to land.
"You could tell where it was happening and you could tell body language of people outside that something bad had happened.”
