Police have launched an investigation after the "unexplained" death of a man found injured on a Slough road.

Officers were called to Furnival Avenue in the Berkshire town just before 16:20 BST on Thursday.

Thames Valley Police said first aid was provided to a man in his 30s, but he died at the scene. The force asked any witnesses to get in contact.

Lead investigator Det Insp Liam Butler said the circumstances of the incident were "not yet ascertained".

"As such, we are investigating on behalf of the Coroner," he said.

"Although formal identification has not been confirmed, the man's next of kin are aware, and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
