THE funeral took place last night of a Blackburn man whose body was recovered from an East Lancashire reservoir on Wednesday afternoon.
Abbas Mulla, 46, of Cromwell Street, was found at Entwistle Reservoir, near Edgworth, at 4.30pm on Wednesday, police said.
Officers were called to the beauty spot in the morning after an abandoned car with its windows smashed was spotted in the reservoir car park.
A wide-scale search was launched at 7.30am with a police helicopter, officers searching the surrounding woodlands and divers entering the reservoir.
Visitors to the reservoir on Wednesday were turned away by police.
Mr Mulla's body was pulled from the water at 4.30pm.
There are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death.
An inquest into Mr Mulla's death was opened and adjourned yesterday.

condolences to all involved. - one thing puzzles me though, i would be grateful for some clarification. we had a bereavement recently and in order for the funeral to take place and the body to be released there had to be a death certificate, we were told that they were always busy and appointments were usually at least 2 or 3 days after the death, at the earliest! - i understand that certain cultures traditionally believe the funeral should take place A.S.A.P but this one seems to have occurred in record time, was there not a need for a post mortem also, given the unusual nature of the death? - I would be grateful if someone could enlighten me on this matter. I would also like to add that please don't respond to this if all you can do is make ignorant or racist comments. some of us actually do want to understand the other cultures we are living alongside.

very sad news, is this the same abbass mulla who has left behind 5 children and use to work in the IT sector. I worked with someone who fits his description. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Al-Fatiha for the deceased.
