Van passenger declared dead in Northampton General Hospital car park

Eyewitnesses said several police cars were called to Cliftonville car park at NGH at around 1.30pm yesterday.

Officers taped off a Ford Transit van and a blanket had been placed across the vehicle's windscreen.

However a police spokesman said the force was called "purely to investigate a non-suspicious incident in the car park."

A woman was found to have passed away within the Transit van and was declared deceased by hospital staff.
