Police have formally identified the body of a man recovered from a disused water tank in a South Gloucestershire village.

Officers found the body at a property in Cowship Lane, Cromhall, on November 20.

The discovery came after a two-day heavy police presence in the village.

An Avon and Somerset Constabulary spokesman said the body has been formally identified and the family informed.

The man has not yet been named. Police are preparing a report for the coroner.

“The death is being treated as unexplained but not believed to be suspicious, pending the outcome of a postmortem," the spokesman said.
