A body was found in a pond in Brantham, Suffolk, during the search for three-year-old Noah Woods, who went missing on Tuesday. The discovery took place in Decoy Pond, about 320 meters from the playground where Noah was last seen. Suffolk Police announced the finding on Wednesday, September 16, stating that the body has not yet been identified, but the child's parents have been informed. The police described the discovery as "currently considered non-suspect, but unexplained." Noah, who is described as non-verbal and has partial hearing loss, disappeared around 3 p.m. on Tuesday while in a playground in Brantham. He ran down an adjacent alley, separating from the person who was with him, referred to by police as "a close person." Over 1,300 people, including volunteers and police, searched across the country for the child. Police Commissioner Tom Pearse praised the public's support, calling the community's efforts "overwhelming." The discovery of the body ended the more than 24-hour search. Floral tributes have appeared near the playground on Merriam Close since the news broke. A fundraiser set up to support Noah's family raised almost £16,000 within hours. The fundraiser was created by the father's charity, the Good Dads Club, and has received numerous messages of support and donations. Noah's father, Rhys Woods, thanked the search teams in a social media post, expressing his fear and hope that his son was still out there. He described Noah as "fully capable of everyday tasks." Tributes on the fundraiser included messages of condolence from other parents of autistic children, expressing deep empathy for the family's loss. The child's body was found in the Brantham pond around 300 meters from where he is said to have broken free and ran down an alley. Helicopters, volunteers, the police, and Coastguard searched the area, while residents were asked to check doorbell footage, gardens, sheds, and any spaces where a small child might go. The major search ended after the discovery in the pond, which is surrounded by trees and flanked by a new built estate. Superintendent Pearse, whose voice cracked with emotion while speaking to the volunteers, paid tribute to Noah's family and "all those who knew him." He confirmed that Noah's family had been informed of the discovery, which is currently being treated as not suspicious but unexplained. The Brantham Parish Council expressed their thoughts with Noah's family, friends, and everyone who knows and loves him, thanking the community for their support and kindness.
