Police appealing for information to help identify the body of a person who was found in the Claerwen Reservoir in Powys on Friday, October 18.

Officers attended the reservoir after receiving a call from a member of the public who had seen a body in the water at just before 8.30am.

The deceased was wearing a wetsuit and is believed to be male.

Enquiries carried out so far – including checking missing people records with neighbouring forces – have not led to the deceased being identified.

While Police do not have many details to share at this point, they are appealing for anyone who does have information – who thinks that something mentioned could relate to a missing person in their own life/or who they may know – to come forward.

If you have visited the Claerwen Reservoir or the surrounding area within the last six to eight weeks and noticed any unattended personal property such as bags, clothes, shoes, or anything else that stood out, please get in touch.

Police would like to hear from you whether you saw something that caught your attention and left it there, or you removed it from the area.
