An assistant chief constable who had been suspended over allegations of gross misconduct and fraud has been found dead on a trainline in Gloucestershire after being hit by a train, police said.

The body of Assistant Chief Constable Gordon Fraser, from Leicestershire Police, was discovered after officers were called to reports of a man being struck by a train in Aston Magna, Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestershire, this afternoon.

Mr Fraser was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is not being treated as suspicious, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
