"On arrival, a Taser was discharged to detain a 23-year-old man.
"At this time it is unclear what happened, but at some point afterwards the man suffered a medical episode.
"Paramedics performed first aid on the man at the scene before he was taken to hospital where he sadly died."
The death has been referred to the local coroner and police family liaison officers are supporting the family.
A police cordon surrounded 10 terraced houses at the end of Beard Road.
A forensic tent was placed in the road within the cordon which was guarded by uniformed officers, a police van and two patrol cars.
