The body of a man has reportedly been found in a skip at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, sparking police to close off part of the hospital this morning.

A cordon is in place near to the Accident and Emergency entrance in Armthorpe Road, but hospital bosses say the Infirmary is operating as usual and patients should attend as normal.

A DRI source said police found the body in a skip outside the hospital earlier today.

Hospital chiefs have not confirmed the reports, simply stating that there was an ‘ongoing’ police inquiry.

Part of Doncaster Royal Infirmary has been sealed off by police this morning.

South Yorkshire Police have also yet to confirm details of the incident.

A spokesman for Doncaster and Bassetlaw NHS Foundation Trust said: “Gate 3 at the Trust is currently closed (Emergency Department and Outpatients) to everything other than urgent drop-offs and ambulances - pedestrian access is unaffected.

“Please use either the hospital's main entrance at Gate 4, South Block entrance near Gate 6 or the entrance opposite the Women's and Children's Hospital at Gate 1.”
