A man’s body was pulled from the River Aire this afternoon (May 30), police have confirmed.

Since last Thursday (May 23), teams from West Yorkshire Police have been searching in the river near Crown Point.
In a statement confirming the sad news this afternoon, a spokesperson for the force said: “The male recovered is believed to be the same man seen entering the river.”
They added that there are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances and that a file will be prepared for the coroner.
