Senior Investigation Officer, Detective Chief Inspector Leighton Harding, said: “Our investigation continues to ensure we determine the full chain of events that led to this 63-year-old man suffering a cardiac arrest whilst at the Brook Retail Park.
“Our initial enquiries led to the arrest of two men in their 30s. As our investigation has moved to the next stage we have been able to determine that no further action should be taken against the 32-year-old arrested and the 31-year-old has been released, under investigation, whilst we follow up on details of the incident.
"We understand that arrests following a death will be alarming to the local community but we are satisfied that there is no risk to the wider community.”
