A man's body has been found near church grounds in East Kilbride.
Officers were called to the scene in Riverton Drive at around 8.40pm last night.
The body was discovered near to Westwood Baptist Church, which announced earlier this morning they had to cancel today's services.

A police spokesman said: "A post mortem will take place in due course to establish the exact cause of death which officers are currently treating as unexplained.

The church posted a message on Facebook to say that both services on Sunday were cancelled due to a police incident.
The statement said: "Due to an ongoing Police incident, the grounds of both the Church and the Community Centre are cordoned off and no access is permitted today.
"As a result both our services today have been cancelled."
