An Edinburgh man has died after taking unwell in the street as emergency services rushed to the scene.

Police and paramedics attended Pilrig Street, just off Leith Walk, on Friday, March 31, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene. Officers are treating the death as "unexplained" although there are no apparent suspicious circumstances.

The street was cordoned off shortly before 9am on Friday as buses could not pass the incident. Police say a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
