A second walker has died on Snowdon in the space of three days.

Police received a report a hiker had fallen after collapsing close to the Bwlch Main peak on Friday.

Llanberis mountain rescue team was airlifted close to the site but said the walker had already stopped breathing and died at the scene "despite the efforts" of his friends.

A walker died after falling a "significant distance" at the Pyg Track on Wednesday.
