A coroner has said an east London council should do more to stop swimmers bathing illegally in a disused dock after a young artist drowned.

Illustration student Jonathan Adebanjo, 23, died while swimming with friends in Shadwell Basin on July 23 last year during a record heatwave.

It took police 16 hours to recover his body from the dock, which has become a popular bathing spot in hot summers.
