Ian Tomlinson, 47, collapsed on Wednesday evening as scores of protesters were gathered near the Bank of England in the City of London.

The City resident was returning home from his work at a nearby newsagents at the time.

Despite receiving treatment at the scene, medics were unable to save him and Mr Tomlinson was pronounced dead later that day in hospital.

The City of London Police said: "A post-mortem examination found he died of natural causes.

"(He) suffered a sudden heart attack while on his way home from work.

"The family thanked all the people who rushed to Ian's aid when he collapsed and said how grateful they are for all the efforts that were made to help him."

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said officers treating Mr Tomlinson had bottles thrown at them by protesters.

But there were also claims that his treatment was delayed by the presence of the police cordon that had been thrown around the protest area.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission is looking into Mr Tomlinson's death.
