Suffolk Constabulary and the East of England Ambulance Service were called to Christchurch Park after a member of the public found a body of a man in his 40s.

Police cordoned off an area close to Christchurch Mansion. Mr Chambers was pronounced dead at the scene.

The area was sealed off for more than two hours, so officers could carry out inquiries.

The death is not being treated as suspicious. The coroner opened and adjourned the case on October 25.
