A JustGiving page set up by Good Dads Club in Colchester, Essex, has raised over £80,000 from more than 5,000 donors to support the family of Noah Woods after his death. The fundraising effort aims to ease financial burdens on the grieving parents while they mourn their three-year-old son, who was non-verbal and partially deaf. Suffolk Police confirmed that Noah's body had been identified but stated that his death is not being treated as suspicious; however, further inquiries remain ongoing before a file is submitted to the coroner.

Story summary
On Tuesday afternoon, a three-year-old boy named Noah Woods went missing in Brantham, Suffolk, after becoming separated from a relative at a playground. Noah, who is partially deaf and non-verbal, was last seen wearing a Bluey t-shirt, shorts, and white trainers. Over 1,300 volunteers joined the search efforts coordinated from Brantham Leisure Centre and the village hall, while emergency services including HM Coastguard helicopters were deployed to assist.
Despite extensive searches involving door-to-door inquiries and checks in outbuildings by local residents, Noah was not found. On Wednesday afternoon, a body believed to be Noah was recovered from Decoy Pond near the playground. Superintendent Tom Pearse stated that the death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, pending further investigation.
Floral tributes were left at the playground where Noah last played, and locals expressed their devastation over the outcome of the search efforts.
