Man dies after tree falls onto caravan during storm

A man in his 50s has been found dead after a tree fell onto a caravan during Storm Goretti, police have said.

Devon and Cornwall Police said emergency services were called to the Mawgan area of Helston, Cornwall, at about 07:35 GMT on Thursday after the tree fell.

Officers said work took place at the scene on Friday to safely remove the tree and make further inquiries at the scene.

"Tragically, a man aged in his 50s was located deceased within the caravan," police said, adding that his next of kin had been informed and were being supported by officers.

The death was not being treated as suspicions and a file would be prepared for the coroner, police said.

The Met Office issued a rare red weather warning for wind on Thursday between 16:00 to 23:00, which caused major damage and disruption across the county.

The clean-up is continuing into the weekend.
