POLICE say the body of a man found in a river yesterday is believed to be that of a missing student.
Robert Davies, a third-year chemistry student at York University, went missing after a night out drinking with friends.
Police recovered a body from the River Ouse on Monday morning.
A North Yorkshire Police spokesman said a formal identification had yet to be carried out. A post mortem had been conducted, but the cause of death was still to be ascertained.
He said there appeared to be no suspicious circumstances.
