They thanked everyone who helped in the search including the Severn Area Rescue Association (SARA).

The statement reads: “We're sad to report that a body has been found in connection with the search for missing 56-year-old Jayne.

“Colleagues from the coastguard recovered a body from the water close to Beachley.

“Jayne's next of kin and the coroner have been informed and her death is not being treated as suspicious.

“We would like to thank all those who helped in the search including SARA and the coastguard.

“Our thoughts are with Jayne’s family and friends at this tragic time.”
