The 'grisly discovery' was made at around 12pm on Sunday when it was reported that a 'human head' had been spotted bobbing along the water.

The incident sparked a huge emergency service response, with police, fire crews - including the rescue boat - and ambulances descending on the Chorley reservoir.
