Police have confirmed that a 22-year-old man has sadly died this morning.

Officers were called shortly before 5:30am today, Wednesday 16 June, following reports of concern for the safety of a man.

Clothing was discovered on the Orwell Bridge but police were not able to trace a person, so multi-agency searches commenced involving police, paramedics, Suffolk Fire and Rescue and the coastguard.

Following these searches, the body of a 22-year-old man was recovered from the River Orwell shortly after 7:40am.

The death is not being treated as suspicious. Next of kin have been made aware and a file will be prepared for the coroner in due course.
