A man has died after falling from a height as police raided a property as part of a investigation.

Greater Manchester Police said a man fell on Hamerton Road in Manchester at 19:00 GMT on Tuesday shortly after officers executed a warrant.

The incident has been referred to the force's professional standards directorate and the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).

The IOPC said it "received a mandatory referral" and was investigating.

"Our investigation is in its initial stages and our thoughts are with the man's family and friends all those affected by his death," a representative said.
