Orwell Bridge
POLICE have confirmed a 22-year-old man has sadly died following an incident yesterday morning.
Officers were called by members of the public shortly before 5.30am, yesterday following reports of concern for the safety of a man.
Clothing was discovered on the Orwell Bridge but police were not able to trace a person, so multi-agency searches commenced involving police, paramedics, Suffolk Fire and Rescue and the coastguard.
Following these searches, the body of a 22-year-old man was recovered from the River Orwell shortly after 7.40am.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Next of kin have been made aware and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
