Emergency services were called to a stretch of waterway near a sailing club in Shepperton, Surrey, on Thursday night. Millions more to face pipe ban – UK weather lately Members of the public had reported that a man had gone underwater near Desborough Sailing Club but had not resurfaced. “Sadly, a man’s body was recovered from the river in the early hours of this morning. His relatives are aware and are being supported by specially trained officers,” Surrey Police said. Firefighters, paramedics and a dive team initially responded to the calls around 8 p.m. “Our thoughts are with this person’s loved ones at this difficult time,” Surrey Fire and Rescue Service said. As high temperatures continue to hit many parts of the country, people are being urged to stay safe when heading out into open water. The fire service urged people not to jump into unfamiliar water, saying it can be colder, shallower and faster than it looks. During the heatwave last month, at least 13 people died of drowning, including a 16-year-old boy.
