A man died after suffering chest pains while walking in the Lake District.

Cumbria police received a report during the morning of October 12 of a man in a walking group with chest pains near the summit of Ullock Pike on Skiddaw, a spokesperson from Keswick Mountain Team.

Members of the mountain rescue team were deployed at 11.47am, along with a rescue helicopter, but it eventually had to stand down due to bad weather.

As the Keswick team arrived, the man was found to be unresponsive.
