An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said: "Formal identification is not expected to take place from some days but officers have informed the missing man’s family.

"Officers continue to offer them support and our thoughts are with them at this terribly sad time. The man’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be complied for the coroner in due course."

An area of the Harbourside near the Arnolfini was cordoned off during the search. Around four divers, two police cars, a police van, eight officers and two police horses were on the scene.

An Avon and Somerset police spokesperson said this morning: "Emergency services attended Narrow Quay, Bristol, yesterday evening at around 10.30pm following reports of four people in difficulty in the water.

"A multi-agency search and rescue operation was led by the fire service. Two men and a woman were rescued from the water and were initially treated by paramedics at the scene. The two men were later taken to hospital for further treatment."
