A man who died at a Kent shopping centre has been described as an "amazing" dad-of-three.

Josh Drewett, 32, was tragically pronounced dead at Ashford's County Square yesterday evening.

Emergency crews including the air ambulance were called but paramedics were unable to save him.

His former partner and mother of his three children, Bethany Millen, says he was a "loving dad".

"He loved his kids very much," she said.

"Josh had a lot going on in his life but he was amazing and will be missed loads."

Mr Drewett, who was homeless, fell ill at about 5.50pm outside the Select clothing store in the shopping centre's extension.

Security guards blocked off all entrances to the site, while four ambulances were called.

Police say Mr Drewett's death is currently being treated as "unexplained" and a man is being questioned.

A spokesman said: "A 45-year-old man from Maidstone has been arrested in connection with the incident and remains in custody while officers work to establish the circumstances of the death."

In a statement, an ambulance service spokesman said paramedics were initially called to treat a person "in need of medical attention".

They added: "Ambulance crews were joined at the scene by the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Service.

"Sadly, despite the efforts of everyone involved, the person was pronounced dead at the scene."

A spokesman for County Square added its team's "thoughts and prayers are with those affected in what are undoubtedly difficult times".
