Man dies after fall from third floor window at flats

A man has died after falling from a third-floor flat window.

Merseyside Police rushed to Falkner Square in Liverpool's Georgian Quarter just after 4pm on Wednesday, October 5, after reports a man had fallen from a flat window. Merseyside Police requested help from the North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) and the Air Ambulance as the man needed medical assistance.

NWAS has now confirmed the patient was taken to hospital by ambulance after suffering fatal injuries. Merseyside Police have confirmed the death is not being treated as suspicious circumstances and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
