University of East Anglia student dies after gym incident
A university student has died following an incident at a gym.
Emergency services were called to the University of East Anglia’s Sportspark, in Norwich, at about 19:00 BST following reports of a medical incident.
Norfolk Police said a man in his 20s, who had been using gym equipment, was pronounced dead at the scene.
A spokesperson for the university confirmed a student had died and the site would remain closed.
“Emergency services were called to the Sportspark gym shortly after 7pm following reports of a medical incident involving a man who had been using gym equipment,” the police spokesperson said in a statement.
“A man, aged in his 20s, was treated by paramedics but was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. His family have been informed.
“The area was evacuated while emergency services provided medical treatment.
“A police cordon is in place and the gym will remain closed while enquiries are carried out to establish the circumstances surrounding the death, which is being treated as unexplained.”
The university told the BBC it was “providing support to staff” and the “Sportspark is currently closed, and will remain closed tomorrow.”
Pictures show a large number of emergency service vehicles, including a forensics van, at the scene.
East of England Ambulance Service has been approached for comment.
