It was a private person who discovered the body in the water late on Friday afternoon.

Could it be a crime?

- No, there is nothing to suggest that.

Everything instead indicates that he fell into the water and drowned.

He has fallen into the water there before, says on-duty preliminary investigation leader Anderz Ohlsson at the police in Västernorrland.

The relatives have been notified.

- They have been informed of the find and that it is likely that their father has been found. But he has not been identified yet, it is difficult to do so when a body has been in water for a month. And it can take another month before the autopsy results are ready. So we think it is more humane to do this, says Anderz Ohlsson.
