It said a man in his 40s was found “with injuries consistent with a fall”. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

“It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don’t know how on Earth it happened.
“It was heartbreaking. He was only young.”
The Britpop icons’ first tour in 16 years kicked off on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Saturday’s concert was the fourth of seven planned shows at Wembley.
Stadium management said Sunday’s gig would go ahead as planned.
