River Mersey death: Police share photo of woman's clothing

The crop top is similar to the one the woman was wearing

Police trying to identify a woman found dead in a river have released images of the kind of top she was wearing.

The woman's body was discovered on Thursday in the River Mersey, close to Chorlton Water Park in Manchester.

Her cause of death has not been confirmed and officers are working to identify her so they can inform her next of kin.

Images of a lime green Primark-branded crop-top, believed to be the same one she was wearing, have now been shared.

Det Insp Kulbir Kaur, of Greater Manchester Police, said she hoped the image would "help spur the memory of someone who may know her or saw her last movements".

'Open mind'

The woman is described as 5ft 1in (156cm) tall, with medium-length dark hair.

Her age and definitive ethnicity are not currently known.

Officers said the woman was also wearing New Look 'jenna jeans' in a UK size 8 and had non-slip style socks.

She did not have any identifiable items in her pockets, or visible jewellery.

"We are keeping an open mind as to her cause of death and further inquiries will take place within the coming days and weeks," added Det Insp Kaur.

She urged those with any information to get in touch with the force.
