POLICE are making inquiries to establish the identity of a man whose body was found by a member of the public in Derwentwater, near Keswick, on Wednesday morning.
The grim discovery was made near to Crow Park and a spokesman for Cumbria Constabulary said it would appear the body had been in the water for several hours.
The man was aged around 20 and was in possession of a 555 Lancaster to Keswick bus ticket, a small amount of cash and a silver torch.
A police spokesman said: "At this stage there are not thought to be any suspicious circumstances."
