Police Investigate Unexplained Death of Man at Scarborough's Peasholm Park

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.

Due to the darkness, the nearby area was cordoned off by the police overnight to allow a day-time search to be conducted. The scene was clear by 9.45am today (Thursday).

While there does not appear to be any suspicious circumstances, the death is still being treated as unexplained.

Officers are compiling a report for the coroner as enquiries continue. They are appealing for witnesses and information that could assist the sudden death investigation and ask:

"If you can help, please make a report via the North Yorkshire Police website. Or call 101, select option 1, and speak to the Force Control Room. Please quote reference number 12220190826 when providing details."
