A man’s body has been found in a lake in Doncaster, the latest from drowning during the heat wave.
The search was carried out all afternoon with a helicopter and emergency services.
The tragedy took place at Lakeside, a park near the center of Yorkshire town.
Emergency services were called just after 4 p.m. on a day when temperatures rose above 30 degrees.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: ‘We are very sorry to report that a body has now been found following previous information about an incident at Lakeside, Doncaster.
Emergency services responded to the lake around 4:10 p.m. today after receiving calls that a man in his 20s had gotten into trouble in the water.
“No formal identification has yet taken place.
“The man’s family has been informed and is assisted by specialized agents.”
More than 20 people have died in the water during the UK’s extreme summer.
Earlier this week, a teen drowned in a lake in Hertfordshire.
The 14-year-old ran into trouble in the water in Cheshunt and a search was launched, but a body was found hours later.
Another schoolboy, Brian Sasu, also 14, was among those who lose his life in the water during the July heat wave.
The teen was cooling off in the River Thames in Richmond, west London, when he got into trouble, his family said.
