The body of a man has been found in the search for a missing person on the Norfolk Broads, police have said.
Norfolk Police said the search was launched after a man in his 20s was seen entering the water from a boat on Wroxham Broad at around 11.30pm on Friday and did not resurface.
The search involved police, the fire and rescue service and the coastguard – and the body was found at 2.15pm on Sunday, police added.
The family of the man seen entering the water has been informed and the death is currently being treated as unexplained, but is not believed to be suspicious, the force said.

Elsewhere, Essex Police issued an appeal for information following a third-party report of a woman who had gone missing while swimming off a beach at Frinton-on-Sea on Sunday.
The woman has since been reported safe as well, police later added.
Police said the coastguard along the Esplanade was approached on Sunday by members of the public who had spoken to a lady who said she had not seen a member of their family who had been swimming in the water.
When officers and the coastguard went to speak with the lady who reported this to the group, she could not be found, the force added.
Just before 8pm that evening, Essex Police said they had received information that the two women had found each other, were safe and well and that the police response had been stood down.
In a statement, the force thanked the public for the calls and support they received following the appeal for information.
