It came as part of searches for missing person, Aodhan O'Donnell.

It's understood people rowing on the river early this morning made the discovery, before calling the charity's rescue team.

The PSNI say they're not treating the death as suspicious.

An officer, posting on the PSNI Foyle Facebook page, said: "I'm sure you will join me and my team in sending your thoughts to the family and friends at this time."
