Summary
Specialist search teams recovered a 15-year-old boy's body from Cowbury Reservoir in Stalybridge on Saturday night after reports he got into difficulty at about 18:30 BST.
Greater Manchester Police said formal identification has been completed, his family has been informed, and officers do not believe there are suspicious circumstances.
A second water emergency remained active in Greater Manchester, where police continued searching for another boy last seen in the River Irwell at Clifton Country Park in Salford shortly before 17:00.
Police used the death to warn against entering reservoirs, rivers, canals or ponds during hot weather, as several recent drownings and rescues have followed attempts to cool off in open water.
