A café and pool at a leisure centre in Hornchurch have re-opened after a man's death.

Officers from Metropolitan Police were called at around 9.03am today (April 25) to Harrow Lodge Leisure Centre in Hornchurch Road after a person was reported unwell.

London Ambulance Service sent an ambulance crew, paramedics in fast response cars and an incident response officer to the scene but, despite their best efforts, the man died.

The Met Police said the death is being treated as unexpected but not suspicious.

The pool and café at the centre had been shut while emergency services dealt with the incident.

A spokesperson for Everyone Active, that manages the centre, told the Recorder that the pool and café reopened to public at 3pm today.

We are awaiting a statement from the leisure centre relating to the incident.
