A 62 year old man was stopped shortly before 3pm on Thursday 20 September in Wolseley Road, Plymouth by a police officer following a routine incident.  During this contact the man collapsed and officers carried out CPR on him.  He was then taken to a local hospital and life was pronounced extinct at 4.17pm.  His next of kin have been informed.
