ITV Granada Reports correspondent Tim Scott sent the latest from the scene
A teenager girl has died after getting into difficulty in the water.
The 15-year-old was found in the water following a search near Hodge Lane in Broadbottom, Tameside, on the evening of Wednesday 14 June.
Greater Manchester Police have said that despite the medical teams best efforts, they were unable to save her.
The alarm was raised around 7.50pm, just hours after the small Greater Manchester village had enjoyed their annual duck race.
A huge emergency response was called out to the scene, including incident response, water incident and technical response units.Police and fire crews remained stationed along Mottram Road and Moss Lane for a number of hours, before leaving the scene at around 11pm.
Detective Superintendent Rebecca Boyce said: "[The] events are nothing short of devastating and my deepest sympathies are with the loved ones of the girl who lost her life in such awful circumstances.
"Officers will continue to support the family during this incredibly difficult time.
"Detectives from Tameside CID are confident there are no suspicious circumstances and a file is being prepared for the coroner."
Rescue teams were called to assist police during the incident with crews from Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Hyde fire stations, the Water Incident Unit and Technical Response Unit assisting.
Station manager Martin Cain sent his "heartfelt condolences" to the girl’s family and friends.
He warned people against being tempted to enter water during the warm weather.
He said, "We advocate the Water Safety Code and that involves just stopping and thinking about what you're doing when in and around water.
"It all looks nice and calm on the side and when you just put your toes in the edges it will be quite warm - but what you dont get an appreciation of is the depth and the temperature of it.
"When it's anything over a couple of metres deep, the temperature drops significantly."
Mr Cain advised anyone in difficulty to try to float and not panic.
