Speed boat driver's body found
Police have recovered the body of a man who was feared drowned after collapsing at the controls of a speed boat.

The search for Grant Bradford, 32, from Fenstanton, Cambridgeshire, began after he was reported missing on Saturday at 1045 BST.

Mr Bradford had been towing a water skier at St Ives Water Ski Club when he collapsed and fell into the water.

It is thought he suffered an epileptic seizure.

Cambridgeshire Police drafted in a team of divers from Norfolk to assist with the search for Mr Bradford.

The search was called off at about 2300 BST on Sunday.

However, a police sergeant returned to the lake on Tuesday at 1000 BST with other officers to continue the search.

It was then Mr Bradford's body was spotted.

Although no formal identification has yet taken place a police spokeswoman said they were satisfied the body was Mr Bradford.

She said there were no suspicious circumstances.
