A man has died at a Wetherspoons pub in South Gloucestershire. The incident occurred at The Emersons Green pub on Westerleigh Road, in Emersons Green, at approximately 1.30pm yesterday (Wednesday, April 1).
Avon and Somerset Police confirmed they were alerted to the incident by the ambulance service at roughly 1.50pm, about 20 minutes after emergency services were first called to the scene.
Police stated the incident is not being treated as suspicious. His next of kin have been notified and a file will be prepared for the coroner, reports Bristol Live. Wetherspoons informed BristolLive that a customer in his 80s passed away inside the pub from a suspected heart attack.
A spokesperson for the pub confirmed that staff members will receive support during this period.
A spokesperson for Avon and Somerset Police said: “We were called by the ambulance service to a premises on Westerleigh Road, Emersons Green, Bristol, at around 1.50pm yesterday (Wednesday 1 April) following the sudden death of a man.
“Officers attended and we are treating his death as non-suspicious and the next of kin has been informed. We will prepare a file and carry out enquiries on behalf of the coroner.”
A spokesperson for the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT) said: “We were called at 13:32hrs on Wednesday 01 April to an incident in Emersons Green, Bristol.
“We sent two double-crewed land ambulances, an air ambulance, a responding officer, and the hazardous area response team to the scene.”
It comes after a “kind-hearted” and “beautiful” man has tragically passed away days after a dreadful attack in the early hours outside a pub in Salford. The incident took place outside the establishment on Liverpool Road in Cadishead around 2.40am on Sunday morning (March 29).
Police and paramedics were summoned following an ‘altercation’ involving ‘several men’. During the dispute, a man suffered severe injuries and was hurried to hospital from the scene after being ‘punched and kicked to the head’.
It was confirmed on Tuesday morning that the victim remained in hospital in a critical condition. He was tragically declared dead hours later and has been identified in tributes as Ben Wright.
Tributes poured in online, describing him as a ‘beautiful human being’ who will ‘never be forgotten’ and a ‘kind-hearted soul who will never be forgotten’. It’s understood surgery was performed for Ben’s organs to be donated to save others’ lives before he died.
After the attack, police cordoned off the area surrounding Dessie’s Place pub. Three men, all in their 20s, were arrested on suspicion of section 18 assault but have since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
