Police name 11-year-old Mackenzie Swift as the boy they were searching for after he went missing in the River Don in South Yorkshire. Multiple outlets report that Swift was last seen entering the river near Mexborough at around 8pm on Saturday. After he failed to emerge, police and other emergency services carried out a search in the area.
BBC News, Sky News and other papers state that Swift’s identity was released during the ongoing search. Several reports then add that a body was later found during the search, after which the operation was concluded. The coverage broadly describes the incident as occurring on Saturday evening, with reports noting the search for Swift continued for a period of time before the discovery.
The accounts are consistent about the location, the boy’s age, and the sequence of events: entry into the River Don near Mexborough, failure to resurface, police search, and later discovery of a body, with emergency services ending the search following the find.
