The body of a boy has been found in the River Orwell.

The find comes after police were called to the bridge by members of the public around 1am to concerns for the safety of a person.

Officers attended but were unable to find them.

A multi-agency search was launched involving police, paramedics, the fire service, the Coastguard and the RNLI.

The man's body was recovered from the River Orwell shortly after 4am. Police have since confirmed the boy was 17 years old.

A spokesman for Suffolk police called for anyone with information to contact the force on 101, quoting CAD 12 of May 18.

The bridge remains open in both directions.
