A MAN died in a Stourport park after suffering a cardiac arrest - despite the best efforts of bystanders and paramedics to revive him.
The tragic incident happened at the War Memorial Park, off Lower Lickhill Road yesterday ( Monday, September 27).
West Midlands Ambulance Service rushed to the park by land and air. They discovered bystanders performing "excellent" CPR on the man.
