Body found in search for boy, 15, missing after entering lake in Lincoln

A body has been found in the search for a 15-year-old boy who went missing after getting into a lake in Lincoln.

Declan Sawyer was reported to have got into difficulties after entering the water at Swanholme Lakes on Sunday.

Emergency services were called to the scene at 2.30pm and launched a search operation.

Officers had scoured the lakes for the teenager with the help of their underwater search team.

In a statement on Sunday evening, Lincolnshire Police said: "We can update that our dive team have sadly found a body in the water at Swanholme Lakes, Lincoln.

"With agreement from the family we can share that the boy who died is 15-year-old Declan Sawyer.

"Our thoughts are with his family and we send our condolences at this incredibly difficult time.

"This is such a sad incident that will no doubt also affect many of Declan's friends and the local community as well.

"As we are starting half-term week, we ask our community to make sure that anyone affected is looked after and that people are encouraged to seek help and support where they need it."
