A PENSIONER died after being taken ill while changing a wheel on his car in York.
The man, who was said to be aged 68, was changing the wheel in University Road, off Hull Road, when he suffered what ambulance workers described as an apparent angina attack. Paramedics called to the scene fought without success to revive the man, and took him to York District Hospital, where it was confirmed he had died.
A spokesman for York Coroners Office said if the cause of death was confirmed as natural no inquest would be held.
The man has not yet been named, as his family have not been informed of his death, police said.
