    A body has been recovered during the search for a missing 17-year-old near Chirk Castle, police have confirmed.

    Officers from North Wales Police were called to the area after concerns were raised for the teenager, who was reported to have entered the water in a lake near the castle on Wednesday afternoon.

    Specialist search and rescue teams carried out extensive searches of the area before recovering a body earlier yesterday.

    Police have confirmed that the death is not being treated as suspicious, and the coroner has been informed.

    Detective Chief Superintendent Sian Beck said: “My deepest thoughts and condolences are with his loved ones, who are being supported by specialist officers following this tragic incident.

    “Formal identification is yet to take place, but his family have been informed.

    “We kindly ask that the privacy of the family is respected at this difficult time.”
