Superintendent Gavin House of Dorset Police said: “Very sadly a young man has lost his life and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
“A full and detailed investigation is under way into this incident and I would urge anyone who saw what happened and has not yet spoken to officers to please contact us.”
Mr House added that Bournemouth Square and a large area of the park had been cordoned off so the investigation could be carried out.
There will be an increased police presence in the area over the coming days, he said.
