Woman's Body Found In Lake At Norwich Uni

The body of a woman has been found in a lake on the grounds of a university in Norwich.

The lake is in a part of the university known as the University of East Anglia (UEA) Broad, which is on a campus site west of the city.

They have not said whether they believe the woman was swimming in the lake, where swimming is forbidden.

The lake, known as the UEA Broad, is at the southern-edge of the campus and is a man-made lake which is not part of the river network. The River Yare runs alongside the lake and the area is accessible and used by the public.

Initial enquiries have been carried out with UEA and at this stage it is believed all students have been accounted for.

Police are unable to confirm the age of the woman at this time and enquiries to identify her are continuing.

A force spokesman said: "Police were called to the University of East Anglia, in University Plain, shortly after 8.40am after a member of the public who was fishing in the area dialled 999 after seeing a body floating face-down in the lake.

"Officers were immediately dispatched to the scene along with colleagues from the fire service and ambulance. The air ambulance also attended.

"The body of a woman was recovered from the water shortly before 9.30am.

"Police are still on scene, carrying out searches of the immediate area which remains cordoned off while investigations continue."

While some summer camps are currently being held on the campus, most students have left for the summer holidays.

A UEA spokeswoman said: "We were informed that a body was reported in University Broad shortly before 9.00am.

"We have no further details at this time. The university will be fully supporting the police with their inquiries."

A cordon has been put in place around a small beach area.

There are several no swimming signs around the beauty spot, which is popular with joggers and dog walkers.

The lake area was quiet today but several people could be seen swimming and paddling in a nearby river.
