The body of a man in his 60's has been discovered in the Ripon Canal.
North Yorkshire Police was called to Boroughbridge Road at 8:41am yesterday (Sunday 13th September) after a member of the public found a body in the water.
Emergency services attended and established a scene while enquiries were carried out.
Police said there is nothing at this stage to suggest any suspicious circumstances surrounding the man’s death.
A police spokesperson said:
"Urgent enquiries are currently ongoing to identify and locate the man's next of kin, who we believe may not be in North Yorkshire.
"Boroughbridge Road was closed for most of the morning while emergency services and investigators carried out their work, but it has since reopened."
A file will be prepared for the coroner.
