A 61-year-old man has died after he was hit by bricks falling from a building during stormy conditions.
The masonry came off a building in Cliff Street, in the seaside town of Bridlington, East Yorkshire, and struck the victim and a parked vehicle on Monday afternoon.
A police spokesman said the area would remain sealed off until checks on the building are completed.
The force said it was too early to say whether the stormy weather caused the bricks to collapse.
Sky News weather producer Rebecca Yussuf said rain in the area was accompanied by gale-force winds at around the time the tragedy happened at 1pm.
She said: "Mean wind speeds reached 34mph, with gusts of 48mph."
The first storm of the autumn swept across the country on Monday.
Gale force winds reached 84mph overnight on South Uist in the Western Isles, damaging power lines.
Northern Ireland Electricity said around 6,000 customers lost power overnight, while some 6,500 homes were hit with blackouts in the Republic, with the vast majority reconnected by the evening.
Around 2,000 homes were affected in Workington, Cumbria, with most having supply restored within an hour.
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to move north overnight, with gusts expected to reach 70mph in the most exposed areas on Tuesday.
An elderly man trapped on an island at Marykirk on the River Esk in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, was rescued by a sled boat as heavy rain saw water levels rise rapidly.
Three anglers stranded on an island between St Cyrus and Montrose were airlifted to safety by a helicopter from RAF Boulmer.
Flood warnings were in place in Dumfries and Galloway, Dundee and Angus and Tayside, and flood alerts for Aberdeenshire and Aberdeen city, Caithness and Sutherland, Easter Ross, Speyside, Orkney and Shetland.
