Police have confirmed the dead man that was found lifeless this morning.

Three ambulances and at least two police cars stopped on the section of County Road between Manchester Road and the Transfer Bridges roundabouts to attend to an incident just before 9am on Friday morning.

This part of the road was closed for more than an hour and queueing traffic was diverted away from the scene.

A Wiltshire Police spokesman confirmed that it had to do with the death of a man in his 60s.

They confirmed that there are no suspicious circumstances regarding the death.

A South West Ambulance Trust spokesman said: "We were called at 08.43am to an incident in Swindon. We sent three double-crewed land ambulances, an operations officer and a critical care car.”
