Police have confirmed that the body of missing teenager Noah Donohoe has been recovered in north Belfast. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said the body was found at about 9.45am on Saturday. The 14-year-old was last seen alive on Sunday evening. In a statement, the force confirmed it was continuing to provide support to Donohoe’s family “at this very difficult time” and that enquiries were continuing. It is believed the body was found in a storm drain close to the Shore Road area of north Belfast. Later the PSNI confirmed the body was that of the missing schoolboy and also said that at this stage no foul play was suspected. At a press conference in Belfast earlier on Saturday Supt Muir Clark said: “Unfortunately I have some very sad news. I can confirm that our specialist police search-and-rescue team who were continuing to search a storm drain complex recovered the body of a young male in the north Belfast area just before 9.45am today. “While we have no official identification, we do believe that it is the missing teenager Noah Donohue. Our thoughts and sympathies are with Noah family and we are continuing to provide support to them at this very difficult and heartbreaking time.” Donohoe, who was from south Belfast and attended St Malachy’s College, went missing after a solo bicycle ride across the city, during which he was seen discarding his clothes and cycling naked. His family have said those actions were completely out of character and officers believe he might have fallen from his bicycle and sustained an injury, causing him to become disorientated and then remove his clothing. He is then believed to have abandoned his bicycle and continued on foot. On Friday, police found the child’s khaki rucksack containing a copy of the book 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson and a Lenovo laptop. His disappearance brought hundreds out into the streets to search for him across north Belfast. People from all communities have worked together in search teams since the start of this week to try and find him. Donahoe was described by his school as an “industrious pupil” who played the cello. Supt Muir Clark said it was still unclear why he was5km (3 miles) away from home in that part of the city. On Wednesday, police recovered his bicycle, black crash helmet, trainers, hoodie and mobile phone. There were also reports on Saturday in north Belfast that PSNI officers had sealed off a white van, which will be forensically examined as part of the investigation into Donahoe’s death.
