The latest from Abigail Edge at the G20 protests in London is that a man has died behind a police cordon.
He collapsed around 7.30pm and died of natural causes in the cordon that had been created to corral those who had joined the march, which ended around 1.30pm.
Allegedly, those who were waiting to leave had been told that following the damage at RBS no one would be allowed to pass through the barricade as they were suspected of criminal damage.
Abigail says: “At the time that I left the Square Mile for climate camp (managing to find an unguarded backstreet), some protesters, which included pensioners and families with toddlers, had already been waiting to leave for three hours with no toilets and no food or water. ”
