Body found in River Thames identified as missing 11-year-old Kaliyah Coa, police say

Police have confirmed that the remains recovered from the River Thames on April 13 belong to 11-year-old Kaliyah Coa, who was reported missing last month near Barge House Causeway.
Kaliyah was last seen entering the water during a school inset day, prompting an extensive search involving multiple emergency services after a call around 1:23pm.
The search effort involved multiple emergency services including the Metropolitan Police, the Coastguard, the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, along with fire and ambulance teams from London, and authorities were notified when a body was found at Maritime Quay, E14.
Detective Superintendent Scott Ware, who oversaw the inquiry, expressed his sorrow over the loss of a young girl deeply cherished by many, while her family shared that their hearts have been shattered by the tragedy.
Specialist officers continue supporting Kaliyah’s family, who ask for privacy and urge people to avoid unfounded speculation as an inquest is expected to open on May 2.
