A man whose body was recovered by mountain rescuers two weeks ago in the Lake District has been formally identified.

A walker found the body of Glenn Hartill, 53, in Brandlehow Park, on the western shore of Derwent Water, Borrowdale, on 7 September.

Keswick Mountain Rescue Team was called out help recover the Middlesbrough man’s body, but an urgent callout to a severely ill wild camper in the Central Fells meant that Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team took over the task.

Cumbria Constabulary said: “His death is not being treated as suspicious, and the coroner has been informed.”
