Second body found at Bosley Wood Treatment

Emergency services continue to work tirelessly at the scene of the Bosley mill tragedy.

A second body was recovered this morning (Tuesday 21 July 2015) at Bosley Wood Treatment works.

Efforts continue to locate the two others unaccounted for.

A joint investigation is under way between police, fire and the Health & Safety Executive to establish the cause of the incident.

ACC Guy Hindle said: “We continue to work with our colleagues in very difficult conditions with ongoing risks and the need to preserve the scene for investigation – it is an extremely complex scene to examine and we’ve not yet got full access to it.

“Each agency has a wide range of expertise, and representatives from each are dedicated to the investigation and making the best use of their skills.

“We are making a number of enquiries, but we have to bear in mind that we can’t compromise the rescue operation. We are interviewing witnesses and gathering other evidence, all of which will form the investigation.”
