Officers attended alongside paramedics and a teenage boy was declared deceased at the scene.

Officers are conducting initial enquiries but the death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner.

One couple on their regular morning dog walk said the park was sealed off at the entrance on Pembury Road with police scene tape.

They added, a blue and white tent was erected near the boating lake.

Another man who asked not to be named said: "It's pretty unnerving I saw three police officers carrying a tent and the poles down towards the lake.

"I try and get out early with the dog but this morning it was all taped off with police cars and a forensic van in the car park."

The seal was removed just before 10.30am.

The park has now reopened after being temporarily closed.
