An 11-year-old girl reported missing in England is found dead in a river, according to police reports cited by outlets. Her family reports she goes missing around 12.40pm on Thursday, and her body is later recovered from the water. Police describe the death as “unexplained” and say they are investigating.

Outlets focus on the timeline and the immediate police response. The available reporting concentrates on when the girl is reported missing and that officers treat the discovery as an investigation rather than a confirmed cause of death. However, details beyond the basic facts—such as forensic findings, whether any arrests are made, and any suspected circumstances—are not included in the provided excerpts, so the nature of the investigation and any leading theories are not clear from these sources alone.
