A man has tragically died on an Eryri mountain. Emergency services were called to Cadair Idris on Tuesday afternoon after reports a man was in cardiac arrest on the mountain.

The Wales Air Ambulance and coastguard helicopter were scrambled to the scene, with mountain rescue volunteers also called in to assist. Sadly, the man could not be saved.

An Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team spokesman said: "At approximately 1pm on Tuesday, the team received a request from Welsh Ambulance Service for assistance with a male in cardiac arrest on Cadair Idris. The team deployed in support of Welsh Air Ambulance and Coastguard Helicopter R936.

"Unfortunately, despite ongoing attempts the man remained unresponsive and was declared deceased at the scene. Our thoughts remain with family and friends at this difficult time."
