Two others – a man and a woman – were taken to hospital for treatment.
A man, believed to be in his 60s, was arrested at the scene.
Commander Peter Stevens said: “Tragically, a man lost his life this morning, and officers are working hard to establish exactly what happened and to provide support to his family. My thoughts and sincere sympathies are with them, and with the other people injured.
