The search for a 15-year-old girl has been called off after a body was found.
Police received a call at around 4.10pm on Monday November 20 following concerns for the welfare of Holly Clacy, 15, from South Woodham Ferrers.
Holly was last seen in her Williams de Ferrers uniform earlier on Monday.
An Essex Police spokesman said: "Sadly at around 7.45pm, police received reports that a body of a girl, believed to be aged 15, had been discovered in woodland in Radar Hill, South Woodham Ferrers.
"Police are not treating the death as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.
"Officers are currently supporting the family during this difficult time."
