A body has been found in the search for a missing 14-year-old girl in Weymouth.
Schoolgirl May was reported missing having last been seen at around 10pm on Wednesday on Old Station Road.
Police had put an appeal out in the hopes the public could help trace the youngster.
May had been described as 5ft tall with brown, shoulder-length hair and was said to usually wear baggy clothing and trainers.
Tragically, Dorset Police confirmed on Thursday night that a body had been found in the search for the child.
The force said her family had been informed.
A spokesperson for Dorset Police said: ‘The death is not being treated as suspicious and HM Coroner has been notified.
‘Our thoughts are very much with the family and loved ones of May at this extremely difficult time.’
