INVESTIGATION OPENED AS A MAN DIED FROM HIS INJURIES AFTER AN INCIDENT ON STATION ROAD IN SWINTON

Shortly before 8pm on Friday 20 September, police were called by the ambulance service to Station Road, Swinton regarding reports that a man had sustained injuries.

Despite best efforts of emergency services staff who performed CPR at the scene, the man sadly later died in hospital.

The investigation is now focused on a first floor of a property, with forensics officers coming and going throughout the day.

There was some speculation on various local social media groups that a shooting had taken place after a large bang was heard by people living close-by, however, GMP have assured us that that is not the case and the mans injuries were not from a firearm. 

GMP officers were quick on the scene and quickly established a cordon which is at this present time still in place, the circumstances around the death are currently being investigated.

We will update this article once more information is released.
