A body has been found after a swimmer went missing at sea more than three weeks ago.
The man was found at Tunstall beach in Holderness, East Yorkshire, at about 17:30 BST on Thursday.
Father-of-two Matt McDavid, 42, from Leeds, dropped out of sight from the shore while swimming off the coast at Flamborough on 30 July.
Humberside Police said the body had not yet been formally identified but it was "believed to be linked to reports of a concern for safety at Thornwick Bay in Flamborough".
A post-mortem examination will be held, but police said the circumstances were not thought to be suspicious.
