A woman in her 80s has died after an incident involving a helicopter that was landing at a hospital.
Devon and Cornwall Police said two people were injured as a HM Coastguard helicopter was landing at Derriford Hospital's helipad in Plymouth earlier.
One person is being treated in hospital while the second person, a local woman in her 80s, has since died.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency said the helicopter was flying a patient to hospital at the time of the incident.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said it was aware of the incident and had deployed a team to investigate.
An initial investigation is being conducted by Devon and Cornwall Police assisted by a number of partner agencies.
The force said it was "believed that two members of the public were injured as a HM Coastguard helicopter was landing at the helipad at Derriford".

The inference from all of this is that this involved third parties, not the on-board patient(s)
