They attended the coastbound carriageway, between Junctions 1 and 3, following “concerns for the welfare of a person”.

Officers closed the road for more than three hours during the emergency service response.

Paramedics were also at the scene.

Both have since confirmed a man in his 50s has died.

A police spokesman added: “The man’s death is being treated as non-suspicious, and a report is being completed for the coroner.”

The road fully reopened at around 9.20am.
