A City worker has died after falling from the seventh floor of the London Stock Exchange.

The man fell from a glass walkway inside the building at around 9.45am on Tuesday, landing in the front lobby.

Police were called at just before 10am and the man - believed to be married and in his 40s - was pronounced dead at 10.10am.

The financier is thought to have been working on the first floor, but fell from the seventh floor.

His colleagues were said to be devastated, with several having been sent home. Police are trying to contact the man's wife to inform her of the incident.
