A crew member has died in Kent after falling backstage at an open-air concert by Pop Idol winner Will Young.
The man suffered severe head and facial injuries in the fall at Rochester Castle. Police placed at cordon around the scene of the accident and the man, who was in his 40s but has yet to be named, was taken to hospital at around 6pm on Thursday.
An appeal was made over the public address system appealing for witnesses to the incident before the concert began.
“Kent Police was called by South East Coast Ambulance Service to attend a concert at Rochester Castle and to reports that a man in his 40s had received serious injuries,” said a police spokesman.
“Officers attended at around 6pm and put a cordon in place and carried out an initial investigation. The man has since died from his injuries.”
Officers added that his death is not being treated as suspicious and a post-mortem examination is to take place.
