Body found in grounds of Ellesmere College

A West Mercia Police spokesperson said: "It was found in a remote part of the grounds close to a pond and appears to have been there for a considerable time.

"We are in the process of establishing the identity and are treating it as an unexplained death. However, at this stage, we do not believe anyone else is involved."

The spokesperson said the body was not thought to be connected to the college. "We are investigating the possibility that it may be linked to a long-term missing person report."
