A body has reportedly been found in the River Foss in York city centre.
A spokesman for North Yorkshire Police said: "Police are currently at Foss Islands Basin, following reports that a body has been seen in the water.
"An underwater search unit has been called to make a search of the area and will recover anything that is discovered."
