The body of a man has been recovered from the River Thames in central London.
Police were alerted by the RNLI at 11:51hrs on Tuesday, 4 January to reports of a body near Embankment, Westminster.
Officers from the Met’s Marine Support Unit recovered the body.
There’s been no formal identification but detectives have informed 20-year-old Harvey Parker's family about the developments.
He went missing last month after leaving a nightclub.
The death is being treated as unexplained.
Detective Chief Inspector Lucy O’Connor, of the Central South Command Unit, said:
“Sadly a body has been recovered from the Thames near where Harvey was last seen. We are providing Harvey’s family with all the available information. We are also asking for media to please respect the family’s privacy at this challenging and difficult time.”
