A MAN’S body has been found at Brownhill Reservoir in Holmfirth.
Emergency services spent several hours on Sunday morning carrying out the complex recovery of the body, which had come to rest at the head of Brownhill Reservoir, next to the dam wall of Ramsden Reservoir.
Initial rescue attempts were made on Saturday evening but due to weather conditions and the isolated location they were forced to postpone recovery until yesterday.
Police have been unable to release more details until formal identification takes place tomorrow.
West Yorkshire Police have confirmed that they have informed the family of missing man Neil Bryson about the discovery. He was last seen at home on Wadman Road on at 6.30am on November 27. His car was found abandoned at Yateholme Reservoir – which is about a mile and a half from Brownhill Reservoir where the body was found.
