The Met Police have launched a murder investigation after the body of man was found by joggers in Feltham’s Hanworth Park.
Shortly after 7:40am on Thursday morning, the police were contacted by members of the public reporting that they’d found the body of an unresponsive man in the park.
Police attended and discovered the body of 19-year-old Tyler Donnelly. While he had been stabbed, a post-mortem examination to formally identify the cause of death will be conducted in due course.
Tyler had left his home at 9.10pm on Wednesday evening and rode his bike along Elmwood Avenue. At some stage he entered the park but sadly never returned home. An extensive crime scene remains in the park and is expected to be there for a number of days.
Reacting to the news, Leader of Hounslow Council, Shantanu Rajawat said:
