A 28-year-old man from Merseyside has died hours after reaching the summit of Mount Everest.
Peter Kinloch, who lived in Halewood, got into difficulties as he made his way down the mountain last Wednesday.
Mr Kinloch, an experienced climber who worked as an IT specialist for Merseyside Police, was climbing Everest to raise money for charity OCD Action.
The charity said he "died whilst realising his dream."
Mr Kinloch was born in Merseyside and moved to the Isle of Skye before returning to Liverpool to study at John Moores University.
He had previously climbed several other mountains, including Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania and Mount Elbrus in Russia, to raise money for OCD Action.
