Nottinghamshire Police have recovered a man’s body from the River Trent.
Emergency services were called to Stoke Bardolph Weir at 6.34pm on Sunday 14th August 2022 after a 39-year-old man entered the water.
Specialist police divers spent much of yesterday searching for the man and recovered a body shortly after 8am this morning.
Chief Inspector Chris Sullivan, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This is a tragic incident that has resulted in a man losing his life.
“We are currently investigating what happened and would like to speak to any additional witnesses who have yet to come forward.
“Our thoughts today are with the man’s family and friends at what we know will be an extremely difficult time.
“Any search and recovery operation of this nature is very challenging, and I would like to pay tribute to the members of all three emergency services who attended the scene.”
