A 63-year-old man who collapsed after an argument at Headcorn station on Friday has died in hospital, police have confirmed.

Officers initially treated the situation as a serious assault, with around 10 police cars and two forensic vans attending the scene and sealing off the car park while officers carried out a meticulous examination of the area.

Tarpaulin was draped over the front of a red Vauxhall taxi parked immediately outside the station.

However, officers later concluded the man was not assaulted and had suffered a "medical episode" after a verbal altercation outside the station.

He was taken to hospital in a critical condition, where he later died.

A British Transport Police spokesman said: "His family have been informed and are being supported by a specialist officer.

"They would like to express their thanks to everyone who assisted the man at the scene and provided medical support.

"We are still working to establish the circumstances leading up to his death and are appealing for anyone with any information to contact BTP by calling 0800 40 50 40 or texting 61016, with reference 224 of 30/3."
