Police investigating the death of a man who was found at Chatham Historic Dockyard, are appealing for information.

The emergency services were called to the historic site on Saturday, July 14, after the man's body was discovered one of the docks containing HMS Gannet.

Four police cars, along with ambulance crews, firefighters and HM Coastguard were sent to the scene at about 11.30am and boat crews and divers were seen entering the dock.

Despite the police treating the death as a non-suspicious one, officers would like to speak to anyone who believes they saw anything unusual in the area between 11am and the time the emergency services were called to the scene.

At the time, one bystander said: "It looks like they're going into the dock under the boat.

"They said out of respect they can't give any more information. They've cordoned it off and asked people to take children away."

A man in his 20s was pronounced dead at the scene.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances around the incident however, police have now asked for people to come forward if they have any information.

Officers say a report is being compiled for the coroner and the man's next of kin have been informed of his death, but the man has not yet been named.

Vicki Foster, spokesman for police said: "The circumstances leading up to the man’s death are not being treated as suspicious and officers are preparing a report for the coroner.

"As part of their inquiries they would like to speak to anyone who believes they saw anything unusual in the area between 11am and the time officers were called."
