A man's body has been recovered from the Serpentine lake in London's Hyde Park, with police treating the death as unexplained.
Police divers retrieved the body at lunchtime after a passerby spotted it in the water. Visitors on what was the warmest day of the year so far were cordoned off from the area.
A park worker, who wished to remain anonymous, said: 'We had a few customers out on the lake and someone pointed out that there was something over there so I went and had a look. It was just floating on the other side of the island. It was caught on one of the chains.'
A Scotland Yard spokesman confirmed: 'We were called at around 1250 BST to the Serpentine to reports a body had been seen.' The Metropolitan Police have not yet released further details.
