M4 death investigated after online ‘predator’ sting

Police urged people not to speculate to respect the privacy of the man's family.

The group that confronted him also asked people to "allow his family to grieve in a respectful manner".

The motorway was closed for a number of hours while officers investigated.

At the time, a police spokesperson said: "We understand from witnesses a man in his 40s fell from a height and was subsequently struck by vehicles travelling between junctions 20 (Almondsbury) and 21 (Awkley).

"The death is being treated as non-suspicious and his next of kin are being offered support during this difficult time.

"Our thoughts and sympathies remain with them."
