Body Found in Search for Missing Toddler Noah Woods

Police have found a body in the search for three-year-old Noah Woods, who went missing from a playground in Brantham, Suffolk, on Wednesday. Divers discovered the remains in Decoy Pond on Thursday afternoon, according to Suffolk Police Superintendent Tom Pearse.

Noah, who is non-verbal, partially deaf, and being assessed for autism, was last seen on CCTV at 2:37 p.m. in Merriam Close, playing on a roundabout near his home. He was wearing a white Bluey T-shirt, shorts, and black Vans trainers.

Authorities believe Noah ran off from a relative shortly after the CCTV footage was captured. He was last seen disappearing down an alleyway that leads to a new housing development, a lake, and a railway line. The disappearance prompted a large-scale search operation, with hundreds of members of the public joining the effort.
