Incident at Walton bridge today

[chuckaduck]

I came across the bridge today at 9 ish and saw 2 surrey fire and rescue tenders there with approximately 10 police and ambulance vehicles, as I crossed I saw a couple of officers getting into a launch.

I was there Saturday evening with my camera and I noticed someone had rammed the main gate to the site I wonder if this had something to do with it ?

Nothing tragic I hope.

Has the webcam referenced in the other post about Walton Bridge been taken down? I cannot get it to display, I hope that is not significant; pointing to a possible serious incident.

It was working earlier today, but that was before 9am.

Body found at Walton Bridge

It appears that a body has been found in the river at the bridge site. See http://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/s/2123917_police_called_to_reports_of_mans_body_in_thames for the story so far. I assume that the webcam has been switched off while they deal with the incident.

A misleading title as it was the JGF (I think) pontoon he fell in from, not the temporary bridge one he was found near.
