A man has died following a fire at a commercial garage today, police said.

Officers were called by the fire service to Church Street, Bletchley, Milton Keynes, just after 5am.

A man was rescued from the building by firefighters but he later died at the scene, Thames Valley Police said.

A police spokesman said the death of the man - who has not been identified - was being treated as "unexplained".

Road closures were in place in Church Street as police and fire service investigators carried out an examination of the scene.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Thames Valley Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
