Police are working to identify a man who was found deceased in a river in south London on Monday.
Officers were called after the man’s body was spotted in the River Cray near the Nugent Shopping Park in Orpington shortly before 11.30am.
The man’s body was recovered from the river and he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Detectives with the Met Police said enquiries are ongoing to confirm the man’s identity and to inform his family.
