A MAN found suffering from dehydration at the side of the A12 has died in hospital today.

The man was among three people found above a bridge in Witham in Essex earlier this month.

One man had already died.

Police believe the men had been smuggled to the UK from Europe and think they came through a sea port in a white box van.

Both men were aged 20 to 30 and from Pakistan but neither have been identified.

A third man, who was also suffering from dehydration, is now recovering.

Police are appealing for anyone using the A12 on Sunday, June 11 or early the next day, who saw anything suspicious to contact them.
