POLICE have said they are treating the discovery of a body of a man in a field in Marcham as "unexplained".

The 38-year-old man, who has not yet been identified, was found in a field off Mill Road near the village.

The body was found on Tuesday, but details of the discovery only emerged today.

A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out on Monday when the man will also be formerly identified.

A police spokesman said the death was being treated as "unexplained", but also said it was not thought to be "suspicious".
