A MAN collapsed and died while out walking in Rivington.

He had been walking with two other people in Lever Park, behind Rivington and Blackrod School, when he collapsed at 1.50pm on Friday afternoon.

Three teenage boys, who were in the area at the time saw what happened, and tried to resuscitate the 56-year-old walker.

Members of the group then flagged down a Bolton Mountain Rescue Team Land Rover, which had been in the area as part of the annual Pike Fair celebrations.

Paramedics arrived and continued efforts to revive the man en-route to Royal Bolton Hospital, giving him oxygen.

However, the man could not be saved.

Police were also called to the scene but there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the man's death.

Bolton Mountain Rescue Team Leader, Gary Rhodes, said: "This was a tragic thing to happen on Good Friday.

"What the three teenagers did was absolutely amazing.

"Everyone worked hard to give this man the best possible chance but there was just nothing that could be done."

I along with darryl and some others tried helping the old man. Even though we did a great thing and did our best, there was also another man and two women who havent been mentioned that helped in the recussitation. The man in particular was influential in helping the old man. Credit must be given to them rather than just us. I believe now that teenagers should be given practical examples of how to help in that situation, as me and my friends were in shock and did not really know what to do.
