Horror as man dies at BP petrol station during ‘serious emergency’ in front of horrified customers

A MAN has died in front of shocked customers at a petrol station in a “serious medical emergency”.

The man, in his 60s, was pronounced dead at the scene after paramedics rushed to a BP garage in Bicester on Monday evening.

His death is being treated as unexplained, police say.

A spokesman for Thames Valley Police said: “Thames Valley Police were called by South Central Ambulance Service yesterday to a medical episode in Launton Road, Bicester, yesterday evening, where a man has very sadly passed away.

“The man’s death is being treated as unexplained, but not suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the Oxfordshire coroner.

“Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who has died.”

A statement from South Central Ambulance Service said two ambulances and a response car rushed to a “medical episode” at the scene on Monday.

But despite the best efforts of paramedics, the man died a short time later.

The tragedy comes days after a man died in front of horrified shoppers at a Lidl supermarket.

The man, in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene at a store in Bishopsworth, Bristol, on January 24.
