A body has been recovered in the search for an 18-year-old who went missing while swimming off the Dorset coast. Callum Baker-Osborne, from Coventry, was part of a group that got into difficulty near Rockley Park caravan park in Poole on Monday afternoon.
Ten people were treated at the scene, but Mr Baker-Osborne was unaccounted for, prompting a search operation. Dorset Police said the body was found at Hamworthy pier shortly before 06:00 BST and is believed to be that of the missing teenager.
In a statement released through the force, his family described him as a 'selfless hero who always put everyone's welfare above his own'. They added that he was a 'beloved son' and a 'devoted brother to seven brothers and sisters and loving uncle to 21 nieces and nephews'.
The family said he was 'now at peace with his dad and baby' and would be 'forever missed and always in our hearts'. They thanked everyone for their support and messages.
