Northumbria Police confirmed that no one else was involved in the incident. A spokesperson said: “Shortly before 10am yesterday (Sunday) we received a report that a man had fallen from a car park on Percy Street in Newcastle city centre.

“Emergency services attended, however the man was sadly pronounced dead a short time later. The man’s next of kin have been informed of his death.”

This is not the first time a person has died after falling from the car park. In October 2022, another man died after falling from the same Percy Street car park, prompting calls for measures to be introduced to help prevent future incidents.
