LONDON, April 1 (Xinhua) -- A man taking part in the G20 summit demonstration on Wednesday was found dead after collapsing at a protest camp near the Bank of England in central London, Sky news reported on Wednesday, quoting police sources.

No further details were given as to the circumstances of the man's death. But a Sky news reporter said it appeared that the man had collapsed before having any contact with him.

Earlier in the evening, a Metropolitan Police release said that a total of 32 people were arrested after protesters smashed windows of the Royal Bank of Scotland and clashed with police.

Thousands of people gathered outside Bank of England, Royal Exchange and Royal Bank of Scotland in the financial center of London and set up camp there to express their anger at the "irresponsible," "reckless" fat-cat bankers who pocket fat bonuses even when banks were plunged into difficulty.
