A 78-year-old man has died shortly after being evicted from an east London council flat. The pensioner, who has not officially been named, was being relocated from Kelshall Court, Brownswood Road, Hackney, to a nearby flat on Wednesday.
Police and council staff forcibly entered the flat he was living in after he refused them entry, police said.
They took him to his new flat but 20 minutes later he was found collapsed in the street. He died in hospital.
