His family is being supported by specialist police officers.
It is believed that he entered the water near Endsleigh Road the previous day (Sunday 25 May). Officers from the Met Police’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit are particularly interested in speaking to anyone who saw or heard anything in that area on that day.
