A man believed to be in his 50s collapsed on the sidewalk and died Tuesday afternoon outside the North Berkeley Safeway, authorities report.

[Berkeley police](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-police-department/) do not believe the death was suspicious at this time.

First responders were called shortly after 2:20 p.m. to Henry Street behind the Safeway located at 1444 Shattuck Place.

A passerby saw the man on the ground struggling to get up and called 911 for help. 

The [Berkeley Fire Department](https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/topic/berkeley-fire-department/) attempted life-saving efforts but was unsuccessful, BPD said.

The man, who appeared to be homeless and in his late 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

A community member saw the Alameda County coroner's van with Berkeley police still at the scene at 4:35 p.m.

The sidewalk area near the stairs leading up to the Safeway parking lot was screened off, she said.

The man's name was not immediately available as of publication time.
