A US secret service agent who flew over to the UK with President Donald Trump has died after suffering a stroke.
The agent was part of Trump's security detail when he visited Scotland last week.
On Sunday the unnamed agent had a stroke and was rushed into hospital, but despite being given 'critical care' by doctors in Scotland, he passed away on Tuesday morning, the Daily Mail reports.

The US secret service confirmed the death of the agent, who reportedly had 19 years' experience, in a statement, calling him a 'dedicated professional of the highest order'.
The statement continued: "The secret service thanks the medical personnel in Scotland, in addition to the members of the White House Medical Unit and Police Scotland who provided exceptional care and support for a member of our family."
The man, who hasn't been named out of respect and privacy for his family, was one of over 150 US agents flown into to keep the POTUS safe during his visit to the UK.

Following a meeting with the Queen, Trump flew to Turnberry in Scotland where he was spotted golfing, surrounded by a number of his security team.
Alongside Trump's team a major operation was organised by Police Scotland with thousands of cops present during Trump's stay at the golf resort and hotel - as well as keeping protestors in check.
The operation reportedly cost tax payers £5m, but it seemed like the heavy police presence did the trick and cops thanked protesters for their 'good behaviour', the Metro reports.
Despite widespread protests across the UK, only two arrests were made by Police Scotland - one involving a 55-year-old paragliding over Turnberry and the other being of a 64-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of 'threatening and abusive behaviour'.
Of the estimated 11,000 people protesting in planned events in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee, no arrests were made.

Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams said: "Our priority throughout was to protect the president, maintain public safety and facilitate thousands of people across Scotland to exercise their right to protest peacefully.
"I would like to thank all of the officers and staff from Police Scotland and elsewhere that worked together in helping us achieve this and in particular those who took part in the protests in Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh for their good behaviour."
