Wiltshire Poice have set up a cordon near a lagoon in Rodbourne following the discovery of a male body.

While conducting a missing person investigation in Swindon, officers in conjunction with emergency services partners located a body in a lagoon near Cheney Manor Industrial Estate.
Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, the person was declared dead at the scene.
Although it is still in the early stages in the investigation, officers do not believe there to be any suspicious circumstances and no risk to the public.
A police spokesperson said: "The person’s next of kin have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this sad time.
"We would ask for people not to speculate on the circumstances of the incident and please avoid the area to allow for enquiries to be carried out."
