A man has died while he was walking with friends in the Lake District.
The man was with friends on Whinn Rigg on Saturday.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called by Cumbria police at around 12.40pm about a walker who was unresponsive. The Coastguard helicopter and Great North Air Ambulance were also called, but later stood down.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said: “Tragically, all the efforts of the walker’s friends, passers by, and those of the Helimed crew were unable to help and the walker did not survive. The team brought him back down to the valley, accompanied by his friends, where he was given over to the care of the police.
“Our thanks to all the other agencies involved, and especially to the people who stopped to help. We offer our heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends.”
