Fishing trip ends in tragedy
A police investigation has been launched after a 57-year-old man died while on a fishing trip in Berkshire.

The man, who has not been identified, died after falling into the water at Boveney Lock in Windsor.

It is believed the alarm was raised by a friend who had been fishing with him in the early hours of Saturday.

A helicopter was called out to search for the man using thermal imaging equipment.

His body was recovered from the water by an underwater search team six hours after the search began.
