Police said officers were aware of a video circulating on social media showing the scene where the body was found

A man has been arrested after footage showing the scene of where a body was found emerged on social media.

Derbyshire Police said the body was that of a man called Shaun, who was reported missing from the Chesterfield area on Thursday.

His death is not believed to be suspicious.

The suspect, in his 20s, is being held on suspicion of malicious communications and outraging public decency.

The force said anyone in possession of the video should "delete it immediately".

"Any further posting or sharing of the video could result in prosecution," a spokesperson added.
