The woman's death is being treated as unexplained, police say

A woman has died after she was rescued from a canal in Walsall in the early hours of Sunday.

West Midlands Police said she was found in the water off Wolverhampton Street at about 01:15 BST, and her death was being treated as unexplained.

The area was cordoned off by officers at the scene and a blue tent was put up at the site.

The force urged anyone with information to get in touch, with a spokesperson adding "our thoughts are with her loved ones and we'll be supporting them as our inquiries continue".
