@c5news: Police searching for missing three-year-old Noah Wood have recovered a body from a pond near where he went missing in Brantham, Suffolk. Superintendent Tom Pearse announced on Wednesday evening that dive teams recovered the body of a child from Decoy Pond. Mr Pearse said: “These five teams this afternoon have sadly found a body of a child in Decoy Pond in Brantham. “Formal identification is yet to take place. The family of Noah Woods has been informed of these developments. “The discovery of the body is currently being treated as not suspicious but unexplained. The coroner will be informed of this development.” He added that Noah's family now need “time, space and privacy”. Mr Pearse added: "We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of public support and people putting on their boots to help us with this search," he said. “As a parent myself, I completely understand why people would want to help, and such a response is one that typifies the strong sense of community and the heartwarming nature of Suffolk people that make the county such a special place.” Noah went missing around 3pm on Tuesday from a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, after running off down an alleyway. The pond is nearby. #5news #noah #missingperson

absolutely heartbreaking, may Allah keep this little angel in the beautiful gardens of Jannah, where no tears will ever fall and no pain will ever touch him. may he sleep peacefully among its flowers until the day he is reunited with his beloved parents, and they find each other once again, never to be separated, never to say goodbye, and together live forever in the everlasting mercy of God.

as a parent with a child who has autism knowing water is a main attraction of sensory for autism then I would have gone straight to the pond knowing it's the first thing the child would have gone to
