A 12-year-old boy drowns in the River Lea near Hackney Marshes in north-east London. His body is recovered by police on Sunday morning, according to reports.
Emergency services are called after there are reports of a person in the water in the river. One outlet says the call comes just after 6pm on Saturday, while another focuses on the recovery on Sunday. Another report describes the recovery being carried out by police divers.
Overall, the accounts agree on the location and the age of the victim, as well as that the boy is recovered from the River Lea following reports of someone in the water. The differences are mainly in the emphasis on the timeline—Saturday evening reports versus Sunday-morning recovery—and on whether police divers are specifically mentioned.
