Police searching for a 14-year-old boy who went missing after swimming in water with friends have said a body has been found by the coastguard.
Daniel Halliday’s family said the boy was “jumping waves with his big brother” when he disappeared in strong currents at Crosby Beach, Merseyside, on 30 June.
Merseyside Police said a body was found by the coastguard off the coast of New Brighton on Monday night.
A statement from the force said: “Although the body has not yet been formally identified, officers remain in contact with the family of Daniel Halliday.”
Crosby and New Brighton are just over 10 miles (16km) apart by road but their respective beaches lie at either side of the mouth of the River Mersey.
