Det Supt Chris Thompson, leading the investigation, said a post-mortem examination was expected later. | |
Police have identified the victim but have yet to release his name. | |
Officers are appealing to "a number of groups of young people" who were in the park on the day he died. | |
The body was found in the landscaped Victorian parkland surrounded by terraced houses and former textile mills. | |
The park, which opened to the public in 1893, contains an ornamental lake, museum, terraced walks, a woodland garden, and promenades. | The park, which opened to the public in 1893, contains an ornamental lake, museum, terraced walks, a woodland garden, and promenades. |
