Police discover the body of a missing 17-year-old boy in a quarry

In Warwickshire, the body of a missing 17-year-old has been found in a quarry.

On Thursday afternoon in Rugby’s Newbold Quarry, police divers discovered a body.

It has been determined to be Toby Burwell, who has been missing from his Newbold home since February 20, according to Warwickshire Police.

According to a police spokesperson, the body was officially identified as belonging to missing 17-year-old Toby Burwell. Burwell has been missing for a number of weeks.

‘His death is not currently being treated as suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the coroner.

‘Our thoughts remain with Toby’s family and friends at this incredibly difficult time.

‘We would like to thank you all for continuing to respect their privacy.’

On March 29, police said that evidence gathered during a month-long search for the missing teenager strongly suggested he got into difficulty while swimming in the quarry and never left the water.

At the time, Warwickshire Police said that despite extensive, expert-led searches, officers found no evidence the teenager ‘ever left the water, and there has been no positive sighting since’.
