POLICE have confirmed that they have found the body of a Herefordshire teenager in the River Wye this afternoon.
A 17-year-old had been reported missing yesterday at 5.45pm by the river at Bredwardine.
The coroner has been informed and a post mortem will take place in due course.
Police would like to remind people not to be tempted to swim in rivers or lakes to cool off during the current hot spell of weather as this can be very dangerous, even if you are a strong swimmer.
