A KEIGHLEY churchyard near a main road was cordoned off by police after the discovery of a man's body early yesterday morning.

A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police confirmed officers were called to the graveyard at St John's Church, Ingrow, at Ingrow Lane's junction with South Street, shortly after 8am on November 13.

The spokesman said the body was that of a 26-year-old man.

He added that the police were not treating the death as suspicious, and had now contacted the victim's next of kin.

No further details have been released.

Paramedics and fire service personnel were also called to the scene yesterday morning.
