Police have been preparing a report for the Coroner following the death of a Lancefield man at Lake Eppalock in Kimbolton.

It’s understood the man got into difficulty and disappeared under water.

The woman and two dogs returned to shore and raised the alarm.

The death is not being treated as suspicious.
