A body has been found in the search for former England rugby player Tom Voyce.
He went missing on Saturday while attempting to drive across a flood-swollen river in Northumberland.
Police previously said they believe the 43-year-old was trying to cross Abberwick Ford, about three miles from Alnwick, when his car was pulled along with the current of the River Aln during Storm Darragh.
The former international is thought to have been heading home after spending Saturday evening with friends.
The car had already been recovered from the river.
Formal identification has not taken place but Mr Voyce’s next of kin have been informed
Chief Superintendent Helena Barron, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is an extremely sad development and our thoughts very much continue to be with Tom’s loved ones.
“I would like to thank all of our officers, partners and volunteers for their assistance throughout the searches which have been conducted in very challenging circumstances.
“We would continue to ask that people respect the family’s privacy at this time.”
Search teams have spent recent days scouring the banks of the river from the ford, between Bolton village and Abberwick, to the sea at Alnmouth.
