Officers have been working our emergency service colleagues from GMFRS and NWAS.

A spokesman has just confirmed that a body has been located in the water today (Monday 29 June) and recovered from the North West Under Water Search and Marine Unit.

Whilst formal identification has yet to take place, specialist officers are supporting the family at this difficult time.

Detective Inspector Dave Ogden from Salford CID said: “Saturday’s incident is truly heart breaking, and my thoughts remain with the family and loved ones of the young boy who has so tragically lost his life.

“While we are satisfied there are no suspicious circumstances, this incident is an incredibly upsetting reminder of the serious risks associated with open water.

“We understand people want to make the most of the warm weather, but we would urge everyone to stay safe and avoid entering reservoirs, rivers, canals or ponds.

“Please take care and enjoy the weather in a safe way.”
