Body found in River Thames after boat capsized in Surrey
Emergency services have been searching for 10 days
Police searching for a man who went missing in the River Thames have recovered a body.
The man in his 60s entered the water near Sunbury Lock on the 11th of October when a boat capsized. Five other people were rescued from the water.
After a 10 day search operation Surrey Police have now confirmed that they have located a body near Sunbury Weir.
Formal identification is yet to take place, but the family of the missing man have been informed and are being supported by a specialist officer.
An investigation is underway to establish the circumstances of the man’s death but his death is not being treated as suspicious.
Andy Jenkins, Chief Inspector for North Surrey, said: "Throughout this tragic incident we have been in close contact with the man’s family to offer them support and information during this incredibly difficult time. Our thoughts remain with them, and we ask that their privacy is respected while they come to terms with their loss.”
