Three-year-old Noah Woods disappeared from a Brantham playground on Tuesday and was found dead at a nearby pond the following day after a community-wide search.
- Noah became separated from a relative at a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, on Tuesday, and his body was discovered at a pond a short walk away on Wednesday afternoon.
- More than 1,300 people from the village and beyond, including volunteers from Birmingham and Hampshire, joined the search.
- Father Rhys Woods said there were "no words to describe the pain of this loss" and thanked the community, writing that Noah "will be loved forever."
- Police Sergeant Claire Connick said the force was grateful for the community, which turned out in such numbers that police ran out of high-visibility vests.
