An elderly man found at a fishing spot in Edenbridge last week has been named locally as Dr Henry Bywater.

The pensioner, who went by his middle name of Christopher, was found at about 8pm last Tuesday (April 5) by a nearby resident in a lake near Black Robins Farm in Grants Lane.

Police were called and paramedics also attended but the Dwelly Lane resident, thought to be in his 80s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The death is being treated as unexplained and Surrey Police have launched an investigation.

Earlier a spokesman for the force said: "The death is being treated as unexplained but at this stage there is no indication of any third party involvement.

"A file will be submitted to the Surrey Coroner’s Office in due course."
