A woman's body has been found in the Ashton Canal in Tameside.

A passerby made the discovery as they walked along a towpath near The Boundary pub, Audenshaw, early on Friday morning.

Police were called to a stretch of water off Audenshaw Road and Stockport Road at 9.25am. The woman has not yet been identified and a GMP spokesman said it was too early to establish if there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
