Photograph released of girl missing in River Thames
A photograph of Kaliyah Coa, an 11-year-old girl who went missing in the River Thames on Monday, has been released by the Metropolitan Police.
Police were called at about 13:20 BST after Kaliyah, who had been playing during a school inset day, entered the water near Bargehouse Causeway, near London City Airport in east London.
Emergency services launched a “large-scale response” to the incident, the force said, but crews from the London Ambulance Service, London Fire Brigade (LFB) and the RNLI were later stood down.
The Met said a recovery mission was now under way along the Thames.
On Tuesday, a witness who lives near the causeway said he had been alerted to the incident by the children who were with Kaliyah “shouting, screaming”.
