A man has died after suffering a heart attack in a Lake District forest.
Emergency services were called out on Saturday August 10 to Miterdale Forest, near Eskdale, by the North West Ambulance Service to a report of a male walker in cardiac arrest.
Air and land ambulances were called out along with a team member from Wasdale Mountain Rescue.
The helicopter medical crew was first on scene within about 20 minutes, quickly followed by the advance team member.
Despite extensive efforts, the walker did not survive. He was carefully moved off the hill and into the care of the emergency services.
A Wasdale Mountain Rescue spokesman said: “Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the walker’s family and friends.”
