Following the death of an 82-year-old man in Doncaster, two men have been taken into custody on suspicion of murder.
Just after 07:30 BST on Thursday, Mexborough emergency services were contacted in response to reports that a body had been discovered in the River Don.
The individual was declared deceased at the scene by ambulance services, according to South Yorkshire Police.
As investigations proceeded, two individuals, ages 30 and 32, were held in custody, a force official stated.
They also said that a cordon along the river that was roughly half a mile long was supposed to stay in place overnight.
“We are now treating this investigation into this man’s death as a murder investigation,” Det Ch Insp. Tom Woodward declared.
“Although we are in the very early stages, we have a team of detectives working hard to try and establish the circumstances around what happened earlier this morning.”
Anyone with information about what happened was urged to contact police.
