TRIBUTES have been paid to a 30-year-old man from Trowbridge who died after “getting into trouble” in a Hampshire fishing lake in the early hours of Friday morning.

Police were called when the man – later named as Dane Butler - began struggling in the water at the three-acre Longbridge Lake near Romsey.

Mr Butler was rushed to nearby Southampton General Hospital following the incident at 2.30am on Friday June 26, but paramedics were unable to save him.

Hampshire Police say they are no longer regarding his death as suspicious after originally arresting three men and a teenager on suspicion of murder in connection with the incident. All four were released after questioning.

It is understood that Mr Butler was not living with his wife, Danielle Butler, in Trowbridge.

The couple have a two-year-old boy, Stanley, whose birthday was on June 22.

On Monday, tributes to Mr Butler appeared on a Facebook page called Always BeKind and other pages.

Friends also launched the Dane Butler mental health awareness campaign on Facebook in his memory.

Kerry Webb said: “Sad news. Such a lovely lad. RIP Dane xx", while Brad Thompson said: “RIP.”

Sally Boyle Thompson said: “Absolutely heartbreaking" while Kay Brown said: “Absolutely heartbreaking. Thinking of the whole family today. Terrible news.”Police said a 34-year-old man from Salisbury is being investigated in connection with an assault which allegedly took place during the incident at the lake.
