Mr Smith was declared dead at the scene.

He began his "Kent Epic" 248-mile trip round Kent and Sussex on Friday.

On his JustGiving page he said he wanted to support Mind to raise awareness of the support it offered and to help end the stigma attached to people with mental health problems.

"I have had my own misfortune to suffer from a spate of poor mental health, which was unexpected and has been a real 'game changer' in how I now view the future," he said.

"It has been a tough road to get to this point, but I have been fortunate enough to have the support of my family and friends."
