A woman and child believed to be mother and son have died after getting into difficulty in water at a west London park.

An investigation is under way and the police said "all initial indications are that the circumstances are not suspicious". Officers are working to identify the next of kin.

Det Supt Pete Thackray, from the West Area Command Unit, said: "This is a tragic incident in which a woman and her young child have lost their lives. Our thoughts are with their loved ones."

"I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the first responders and members of the public who did their very best in an incredibly challenging situation.
