A man died at the weekend after falling from a tree in Bowl Road, Charing.

Emergency services including Kent Air Ambulance were called to the accident on Saturday morning and the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police spokesman Rosie Alexander said he had fallen and sustained fatal injuries and that officers were not treating the death as suspicious.

Experts from Ashford Fire and Rescue Service were called and spent two hours using a specialist height vehicle to retrieve tree surgeon’s equipment from 60 feet up a tree.
