Police were called at 4.20pm yesterday [24 June] to the River Taw near Sticklepath after suspected human remains were seen in the water.

Emergency services attended and did locate the remains, which have been recovered from the water.

Formal identification is yet to take place, but the family of 15-year-old Taylor Charlton have been informed of this development. They are being supported by specialist officers and we ask that their privacy is respected at this time.

We understand that this update will impact the local community, and we ask the public to avoid speculating and await updates from police in due course.

There will continue to be a presence around the river today as emergency services make further enquiries.
