Dead person found in the water in central Stockholm

Divers from the rescue service are working to recover the body from the water. The person has not been identified and it is currently unclear what happened.

– The body belongs to a man whose age has not yet been determined, says Rebecca Landberg, press spokesperson at the Stockholm Police.

It was a passer-by who called in on Sunday morning at nine o’clock about a body floating in the water a short distance from the quayside.

– A preliminary investigation has not had time to start, but the police will work on identification and notify relatives as soon as the body is recovered, says Rebecca Landberg.
