Barnby Dun flooding: Post-mortem test on man found on road

The man's body was found on Fordstead Lane near Barnby Dun in South Yorkshire

A post mortem examination is to be carried out on a body found on a road affected by the recent flooding in South Yorkshire.

The dead man was found on Fordstead Lane near Barnby Dun, in the Doncaster area, on Saturday.

The road between Barnby Dun and Arksey was under water for two weeks after the River Don burst its banks earlier in November.

Police were unable to say how long the body had been at that spot.
