A boy has died in hospital after being found in the River Thames.

A police appeal was launched to find Daniel Alaby, five, on Friday.

Daniel disappeared from his home on Pier Way, Bexley, south east London at 5.30pm.

Police had earlier launched an appeal for information regarding the youngster’s disappearance after he was last seen playing in his bedroom with his brother.

At 6.23pm officers looking for Daniel found a child in the river, the Metropolitan Police said.

Police administered CPR before the paramedics arrived.

The child, who is believed to be Daniel, was taken to hospital where he was later pronounced dead, the force added.

Daniel’s family have been made aware and are being supported by police.

There is no evidence to suggest that any other person was involved, the Met said.
