Police have confirmed the body found in the River Orwell was of a 17-year-old boy.
A search to find the boy was launched in the early hours of Tuesday (May 18) morning, after police received reports concerning the safety of a person seen on the Orwell Bridge.
Officers were unable to find him and a multi-agency search was launched alongside paramedics, the Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service, the Coastguard and the RNLI.
They found the 17-year-old's body shortly after 4am.
A spokesman for Suffolk police said the boy's death is not being treated as suspicious and his next of kin have been made aware.
A file for the coroner will be prepared in due course, they added.
