Body found on Clifton Downs

By Chris Brown  Sunday Nov 23, 2014

The body of a man has been found on Clifton Downs, with police treating the death as “unexplained”.

Police were called by a member of the public who found the body at 9.55am today near Ladies Mile.

An ambulance and helicopter were called to the area, and a road closure was put in place between the junction of Ladies Mile and Clifton Down and the junction of Ladies Mile and Circular Road as police began their hunt for clues.

Rob Pearson, the force incident manager for Avon and Somerset Police, said: “At this moment in time we don’t know how the man died. It is very, very early in the investigation, and we do not know if it was an accident or something more sinister.

Anyone with information about the death should contact Bristol CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

The body is the second to be found in the city this weekend. Yesterday, the body of a man was recovered from Netham Lock.

The body has yet to be formally identified but is believed to be missing fisherman Agam Jarosz. The death is not believed to be suspicious.
