Police have recovered a child's body from Decoy Pond in Brantham, Suffolk, after searching for missing three-year-old Noah Woods. Noah disappeared on Tuesday at around 3pm from a playground at Merriam Close. He ran into an alleyway near the playground and was not found. Noah had ginger hair and was wearing a white t-shirt, shorts, and black trainers. He could not speak and had partial hearing loss, so he would not respond if someone called his name. More than 1,300 volunteers joined the search, with some travelling from as far as Birmingham. Helicopters and dog units also helped. Police recovered the body on Wednesday afternoon. The death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious. Formal identification had not yet taken place.
