Man dies falling from third floor window in apartment block horror

A man has died after falling from the top floor of a 'student' apartment block.

Paramedics scrambled to the scene after the man plummeted through the window on the third floor.

He was blue-lighted to hospital in a critical condition and died from his injuries.

Merseyside Police were called to the building in the Georgian Quarter of Liverpool just after 4pm on Wednesday after reports that a man had fallen from a flat window.

He was found outside the property. Officers requested urgent help from the North West Ambulance Service and Air Ambulance crews.

The man was rushed to a nearby hospital but efforts to save his life were unsuccessful.

His death is not being treated as suspicious and his next of kin have been informed, the force said.

A spokesperson for the ambulance service said: "We were called at 3.57pm to an incident. We sent various resources, including HART and an air ambulance. We took one patient who suffered fatal injuries to hospital."

Two detectives and a forensics officer arrived at the scene a number of hours after the incident.

Officers were seen making enquiries with residents at the building and speaking to those who were at the scene when they arrived.

Pictures show multiple fire engines and police cars and vans in the area and several streets were taped off by cops.

An air ambulance also landed on a field near where the tragedy took place.

A spokesperson from the North West Air Ambulance Charity said: "We can confirm that the North West Air Ambulance Charity was called to an incident in the L8 area on the 5th of October.

"H72 responded and we provided a ground escort, the patient conveyed to the Emergency Department by road ambulance with our crew escorting."

A file is being prepared for the coroner, police said.
