A woman has died following an incident at GCHQ – which saw Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance attend the scene earlier today (Monday).
999 crews raced to a medical emergency at the Government Communications Headquarters in Telstar Way, Cheltenham, shortly after 1pm.
A woman, aged in her 80s, reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest at the secure site.
Despite the best efforts of first responders, including Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance critical care medics, she was pronounced dead a short time later.
Gloucestershire Police confirmed that the woman’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
A spokesperson for the force said: “Police received a report at around 1.10pm that a woman in her 80s had suffered a suspected medical episode inside a building on Telstar Way in Cheltenham.
“Emergency services attended and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Her next of kin have been informed.
