A body has been found after firefighters climbed into a Wiltshire home via window.

Emergency services were called to an address in Bancroft, Bradford on Avon, on Thursday morning (24 April).

Police officers and paramedics were unable to gain entry, with a fire crew sent to assist.

Firefighters used a ladder to reach an upstairs window, climbing inside the property.

The body of a man, aged in his 40s, was discovered inside with his pet dog.

“There are no suspicious circumstances and our thoughts are with his family”, a spokesperson for Wiltshire Police said.
