Detectives investigating a disturbance which led to a man suffering a fatal heart attack have appealed for a number of key witnesses to come forward.

An investigation has been launched following an incident at an address on Hertburn Gardens in Concord at approximately 23:00 on Friday 24 September 2021.

Hertburn Gardens / Northumbria

It was reported that a number of offenders who had their faces covered had left the address in question. The individuals ran off on foot past Washington Gardeners CIU Club.

The caller who alerted police subsequently attended the home and found a 71-year-old man inside who was having a suspected heart attack. Emergency Services attended and the man was taken to a nearby medical facility, where he sadly died.

Enquiries are ongoing into the nature of the incident and the events that preceded the man's suspected heart attack. A woman has been arrested and has since been released on police bail.

Washington Gardeners CIU Club

"We know a group of individuals left his address and they ran past Washington Gardeners CIU Club. Up to five people were stood outside the club when the suspects ran past – and I'm today appealing for those individuals to come forward. They could have the crucial piece of evidence that proves the key to this whole investigation, so please come forward and speak with my team."

DCI Dodds confirms the investigation is ongoing by saying:

"We are continuing to carry out a number of enquiries into this incident and would ask the public for their support. In particular, we want to hear from anybody living in the Hertburn Gardens area of Concord who may have seen a group of men walking in the area on Friday night, or anyone who received a knock on the door from any strangers."

DCI Dodds, concluded:

"Your information, no matter how insignificant you feel it may be, could be hugely significant to our investigation."
