Police have confirmed that a body, thought to be of the man who fell into the water yesterday afternoon, has been discovered during the search at Draycote Water reservoir this evening. Emergency services were called to the Draycote Water reservoir, in Rugby, Warwickshire , around 3.30pm on Thursday. The man's son, who was with him on the boat, escaped injury in the incident and was rescued. In an update this evening, just after 11.30pm, Warwickshire Police have confirmed they believe the recovered body is that of the missing father. The man's teenage son had already been rescued from the water when West Midlands Ambulance Service crews arrived at the scene on Thursday, a spokesperson said.
