Clubber dies in Manchester street after falling ill inside the venue

A man fell ill and died in the street after leaving a Manchester city nightclub, police have said. 

The reveller, in his 20s, is thought to have suffered a medical episode in the early hours of Saturday.

Emergency services were called to Portland Street around 5.45am, where they found the man unconscious.

Despite efforts to revive him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.

It's understood that staff at a nearby nightclub helped the man leave the venue shortly before closing time because he felt unwell. 

The staff then checked on him shortly before his death. 

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: 'Officers responded to reports of a concern for welfare on Portland Street at around 5.45am yesterday. 

'Upon their arrival, officers found a man aged in his 20s unconscious, and despite the best efforts of emergency services, he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

'There are believed to be no suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.'
