Around 11am on Remembrance Sunday, a Merseyside Police were called to reports of a blast involving a vehicle – believed to be a taxi – at the hospital.
Three men – aged 29, 26, and 21 – were detained in the Kensington area of the city by Counter-Terrorism police and arrested under the Terrorism Act in connection with the incident.
The male passenger of the car was declared dead at the scene and is yet to be formally identified.
The driver of the vehicle David Perry was injured in the incident but has since been released from hospital.
Earlier, a spokesman for Merseyside Police said: “So far we understand that the car involved was a taxi which pulled up at the hospital shortly before the explosion occurred.
“Work is still going on to establish what has happened and could take some time before we are in a position to confirm anything.
“We are keeping an open mind as to what caused the explosion, but given how it has happened – out of caution – counter terrorism police are leading the investigation supported by Merseyside Police.
“Our response is ongoing at the hospital and will be for some time. Cordons are in place, and there are some road closures.”
