Police say the pensioner died after a domestic incident
A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after the death of an elderly man in Cornwall.

It is believed the 75-year-old pensioner collapsed after a confrontation with a member of his family.

The incident happened at Long Rock, near Penzance in west Cornwall shortly after 2230 GMT on Monday.

The man who has been detained is being questioned at the town's police station.

Police say the pensioner appears to have died after what they describe as a domestic incident.

They are not sure whether he suffered a heart attack or died after being attacked.

A post mortem examination is expected to be carried out later on Tuesday.
