Officers say they are 'keeping an open mind' as enquiries into her death continue
Police are appealing for help identifying a woman whose body was recovered near Chorlton Water Park. Officers were called at 11:10am on Thursday to a stretch of the River Mersey near the south Manchester beauty spot after the discovery was made.
In a statement released this evening, GMP said the woman's approximate age and definitive ethnicity are now known. She 'did not have any identifiable items in her pockets, or visible jewellery' they said. Fire engines and police vehicles lined the water park’s central lake adjacent to the river as TAU, CSI and water unit officers worked alongside one another at the scene.
