The last moments of a 16-year-old boy found dead in a river in Cheshire are being pieced together by police, with an appeal to the community for help.
Jonty Evans was found in the River Weaver near Riverside, Nantwich, on Sunday.
He was last seen in the Queens Drive area on Friday between 22:45 BST and 23:15.
People are being asked to check CCTV, dashcam and doorbell footage and contact police with anything relevant.
Det Insp Nigel Parr, of Cheshire Police, said: "I would also like to ask anyone who has any information that may help officers in understanding the circumstances surrounding Jonty's death to please come forward.
"Our thoughts remain with Jonty's family, and we would urge people to respect their privacy at this very difficult time."
Jonty's family and friends appealed on social media for people to help find him after he went missing but were given the devastating news two days later.
A crowdfunding page to raise money for Jonty's funeral has so raised more than £5,000 which exceeded its original £4,000 target.
