Members of a search-and-rescue team during a search operation at Abberwick Ford on the River Aln near Alnwick, Northumberland, for former England rugby player Tom Voyce, who is believed to have died after apparently trying to cross a flood-swollen river in his car during Storm Darragh.
On Thursday, specialist officers from Northumbria Police’s Marine Unit made the discovery in the river near Abberwick Mill. “I would like to thank all of our officers, partners and volunteers for their assistance throughout the searches, which have been conducted in very challenging circumstances. We would continue to ask that people respect the family’s privacy at this time.”
