Police are appealing for information after the body of someone wearing a wetsuits was found in the Claerwen Reservoir in Wales.

Dyfed-Powys Police is appealing for help to identify the person who the force said is believed to be male.

Initial inquiries, including checking missing people records with neighbouring police forces, have so far failed to confirm the person’s identity.

A police spokesperson said: ‘If you have visited the Claerwen Reservoir or the surrounding area within the last six to eight weeks and noticed any unattended personal property such as bags, clothes, shoes, or anything else that stood out, please get in touch.

‘We’d like to hear from you whether you saw something that caught your attention and left it there, or you removed it from the area.’

The force also wants to hear from anyone who thinks they may know the person whose body was found.

In Manchester, the man at the centre of a frantic search in Dovestone Reservoir has been named as personal trainer Simon Daniels.

The Cheshire native had been paddleboarding with a woman, thought to be his partner, on Sunday afternoon when he fell into the water and was reported missing.

Emergency services were called to Dovestone Reservoir, near Oldham, Greater Manchester at around 2.30pm to reports of two people in the water.

The woman was pulled to safety by a member of the public using a throw line before reportedly being treated for hypothermia and shock.
