Specialist officers searching for missing former England rugby player Tom Voyce have found a body close to where he was swept away while trying to drive across a flood-swollen river. Concerns were raised for the 43-year-old ex-wing on Sunday after he failed to return home after being out with friends on Saturday.
The force said formal identification was yet to take place but Voyce’s next of kin have been notified and were being supported by specialist officers. Chief Superintendent Helena Barron, of Northumbria Police, said: “This is an extremely sad development and our thoughts very much continue to be with Tom’s loved ones. “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.
