A man who was airlifted by helicopter after he fell from a ferry near Liverpool has died, police have said.
Lifeboat crews mounted a three-hour search on Saturday morning after the 44-year-old, from north Wales, fell from the Stena Estrid, which was travelling from Belfast to Birkenhead.

He was airlifted by a HM Coastguard helicopter and taken by ambulance to hospital.
The man died shortly afterwards, Merseyside Police said.

The alarm was raised at about 08:15 GMT and the rescue involved lifeboat crews from northern England and Wales.
Police said the man's death is not being treated as suspicious and a file has been prepared for the coroner.
His next of kin have been informed.
