The body of a man has been found on a road left underwater for two weeks during flooding in South Yorkshire.
Police confirmed the man’s body was found on Fordstead Lane near Barnby Dun, in the Doncaster area, on Saturday.
The road, between Barnby Dun and Arksey, was underwater for a fortnight after the River Don burst its banks earlier this month, inundating much of the surrounding area.
Officers were unable to say how long the body had been in the location. According to some reports, it may have been in the flood water for some time.
In a statement, South Yorkshire Police said: “Inquiries are underway in Doncaster after the discovery of a man’s body.
“Police were called at around 2.15pm on Saturday November 23, following reports a body had been found on Fordstead Lane, Barnby Dun, Doncaster.
“The death is not being treated as suspicious.”
