Robin Cook dies after hill walk

Former Cabinet minister Robin Cook has died after he collapsed while out hill walking, police have said.

It is believed that he was taken ill near the summit of Ben Stack, near an area known as Laxford Bridge in north-west Scotland.

Mr Cook, 59, was flown by helicopter to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, and is understood to have received 40 minutes of resuscitation en route.

Mr Cook quit as Commons leader in March 2003, in protest over the war in Iraq.
