A man died suddenly in Harrogate this morning, police have announced.

The Stray Ferret reported this morning North Yorkshire Police had put up a cordon around one of the cabman's shelters on West Park Stray.

North Yorkshire Police has now confirmed a body was found.

A spokesperson said:

"Ambulance and police were called to the sudden death of a man on Prospect Place, Harrogate, at 7.15am.
"The area was cordoned off while police investigated the circumstances. The fire service assisted in providing a screen around the scene as the man was found in a public place.
"Following enquiries, the death is not believed to be suspicious. The man’s family have not yet been informed."


Prospect Place is the short road parallel with West Park Stray that passes Hotel du Vin.

The spokesperson said the scene was clear by 8.40am, adding:

"Officers are compiling a report about the death on behalf of the coroner.
