Body Found In Missing Boat Search
Rescuers searching for a fishing boat off the coast of Devon have discovered a body.
The 19ft (5.8m) JCK was last seen travelling past Thatcher's Rock, near Torquay, at 18:25 on Monday.
Exmouth RNLI lifeboat found a body shortly before midnight, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) said.
Debris also has been found off the coastline, it is thought to the JCK.
A search was launched when the Brixham-registered JCK failed to return to Torquay Harbour on Monday evening when gale force winds of 60mph had been reported in the English Channel.
The search has now been called off and Devon and Cornwall Police said the man's next of kin had been informed.
