The body of a man has been discovered in Leighton Buzzard this morning.
At 7.45am Bedfordshire Police were called to the Towpath after a member of the public reported seeing a body in the water.
The fire service also attended the scene and removed the body.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, but was taken to hospital where a post-mortem will take place tomorrow.
Police are now working to identify the man by doing house to house enquiries, but urge the public who were in the area to get in touch by calling the 101 number.
A spokesman for Beds Police has confirmed that this incident is not thought to be suspicious at this time, but a cordon is still in place in the area where the man was found.
