A MAN found hanged from a canal bridge in Cookley is thought to have taken his own life.
Police say there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of Karl Billingsley, 28, whose body was discovered by a passer-by at a bridge on Austcliffe Road in the village on Tuesday morning.
Emergency services were called to the scene just before 9am after a man walking his dog made the discovery. Police are not looking for anybody else in connection with the incident.
Mr Billingsley, of Gaymore Road, Cookley, was not married and had no children, according to his family.
A date for an inquest is due to be set.
