Police are trying to identify a man who collapsed and died while running in Milton yesterday evening.
The man, believed to be in his 50s or 60s, was found collapsed by two members of the public on a footpath at the entrance to Milton Country Park off Fen Road at just after 5pm yesterday evening (Wednesday February 17).
Police, ambulance and MAGPAS attended, but despite their best efforts, the man was pronounced dead at about 5.35pm.
The man is described as white, large build with short light brown hair that was balding on top.
He was last wearing a red waterproof jacket with an orange high-vis tabard over the top. Under the jacket was a peach t-shirt and a black wicking running top.
