A man has died after it's understood he became trapped by farming machinery in County Fermanagh.

Emergency services were called to the scene on the Moughley Road in Lisnaskea earlier.

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service was tasked to the scene and says no-one was taken to hospital.

In a statement, the PSNI told Q Radio: "Police attended the scene of the sudden death of a male in the Moughley Road area of Lisnaskea today, Monday 11th June. 

"There are no further details at this time. The Health and Safety Executive has been informed."

DUP Leader and Fermanagh and South Tyrone Arlene Foster said, "This a horrific and very tragic accident and I wish to extend my sympathies to the family of the man killed as a result. Sadly another farming family has been plunged into grief and they are very much in our thoughts at this devastating time. The man was well known within the farming community and his character will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

"This is a very busy period for our farmers. However one death on a farm is one too many and this incident has brought into focus the grim dangers that can exist while working with farm machiney."
