Leicestershire Police said a man suffered a suspected cardiac arrest at Download Festival, in Castle Donington

A second man has died after becoming unwell at a rock music festival.

Leicestershire Police said they received reports a man was suffering a suspected cardiac arrest at Download, in Castle Donington, at 12:48 BST on Saturday.

He was taken to the onsite medical centre but died a short while later.

On Monday, police confirmed another man had died after he was taken to hospital on Saturday evening.

Leicestershire Police are appealing to speak to a witness who gave information to a paramedic on Saturday night, when the first man became unwell.

When medical staff were attending to the first man, who was in his 30s, another man - described as white and aged between 40 and 50 - spoke to the paramedic.

Officers want to speak to the man, who the force says is not suspected of any wrongdoing.
