The Oxford Mail has opened a book of condolence for a man who died outside an Oxfordshire primary school.
The incident occurred on Wednesday afternoon as Thames Valley Police were called to Charlton Village Road in Wantage by the ambulance service just after 2.10pm.
This followed reports that a man had suffered a medical incident and saw officers close the road in both directions between the junctions of Barnards Way and Aldworth Avenue.
The force has now revealed that South Central Ambulance Service confirmed that a man aged in his seventies was dead at the scene.
