A body has been found in the search for former England rugby player Tom Voyce, Northumbria Police said.
The 43-year-old was feared swept away after attempting to cross a flooded river, when his car was swept away in Storm Darragh on Saturday.
A search had been ongoing since Sunday, but a body has now been recovered.
Chief Superintendent Helena Barron, of Northumbria Police, said today: "This is an extremely sad development and our thoughts very much continue to be with Tom's loved ones.
"I would like to thank all of our officers, partners and volunteers for their assistance throughout the searches which have been conducted in very challenging circumstances.
"We would continue to ask that people respect the family's privacy at this time."
