Body discovered in search for David Cubberley who disappeared on Norfolk Broads

Police searching for a missing man whose boat and dog were found in Norfolk have found a body.

David Cubberley, 65, was last seen more than two weeks ago on Tuesday 13 February.

Search and rescue teams said the body of a man had been found in the water at Candle Dyke near Hickling Broad.

The searches have taken place at a stretch of water near to where an empty boat belonging to Mr Cubberley was found abandoned in reeds.

His dog was found nearby on land at Hickling Broad - a 600-hectare nature reserve north-east of Norwich - and taken to a vet.

His boat was found floating in reeds around half a mile from where it is normally moored, near the Pleasure Boat Inn.

Inquiries are ongoing and the death is being treated as unexplained but not believed to be suspicious, said police. A file will be prepared for the coroner.
