The body of a missing teenager has been pulled from a quarry in Warwickshire.
Specialist dive teams were called to Newbold Quarry in Rugby yesterday afternoon (6 April) and made the discovery after searching water.
Formal identification has taken place and it's understood to be that of 17-year-old Toby Burwell.
The teenager was last seen on the 20 February. His death is not currently being treated as suspicious.
A spokesperson for Warwickshire Police said: "Our thoughts remain with Toby’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.
"We would like to thank you all for continuing to respect their privacy."
On March 29, police said that evidence gathered during a month-long search for the missing teenager strongly suggested he got into difficulty while swimming in the quarry and never left the water.
At the time, Warwickshire Police said that despite extensive, expert-led searches, officers found no evidence the teenager "ever left the water, and there has been no positive sighting since".
