Officers have confirmed investigations into the body recovered on Thursday morning near Gunner Point, on Hayling Island are ongoing.
The discovery was made by the Portsmouth lifeboat, which carried out a joint search with HM Coastguard at about 7am, following reports of a body seen near the entrance to Langstone Harbour.
