GMP were called to reports of a person getting into difficulty in the water yesterday (Wednesday 14 June) at around 7:50pm and attended with emergency service colleagues from GMFRS and NWAS.
A 15-year-old female was retrieved from the water and sadly died despite the best efforts of the medical team.
Enquiries are ongoing but detectives from Tameside CID are confident there aren’t any suspicious circumstances, and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
Detective Superintendent Rebecca Boyce said: “Yesterday evening’s events are nothing short of devasting and my deepest sympathies are with the loved ones of the girl who lost her life in such awful circumstances.
“Officers will continue to support the family during this incredibly difficult time.”
