Body found in water
The body of a teenager, believed to be Keirian White, was found in a West Midlands pool today.
Firefighters and rescue crews had worked all night looking for the 17-year-old.
But police divers were assisting colleagues at another suspected drowning in Birmingham this morning and were unable to be immediately on the scene in Walsall. They finally arrived at around 1pm.
Keirian had been due to start a new job in Wolverhampton today.
As his distraught family waited for the divers to arrive they said: "We cannot go through another night not knowing."
The Burntwood teenager went into the water at Ryders Hayes in Pelsall, Walsall, at around 8pm last night.
The urban search and rescue team from West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service, water rescue units from Willenhall and Hay Mills and crews of firefighters were called out.
Special thermal imaging cameras, dive equipment and other specialist tools were used to try and find the teenager.
June Smith, who bought up Keirian's mother Paula, said the teenager had done an electrician's course and was due to start a new job in Wolverhampton today.
