Former England rugby player Tom Voyce believed to have died in a tragic event during Storm Darragh.

Tom Voyce, a 43-year-old ex-England rugby international, is feared to have lost his life in a tragic incident during Storm Darragh. The police are deeply concerned about his safety after he did not return home on Sunday night following a night out with friends. It is believed that he attempted to cross Abberwick Ford, near Alnwick, in his car, but was swept away by the strong current of the river.

Despite the police's efforts to find him, Tom has not been located yet. The car he was driving has been recovered, but sadly, Tom has not been found. It is believed that in his desperate attempt to escape the rising waters, he was tragically swept away and lost his life. Storm Darragh caused chaos in the UK over the weekend, with flood warnings being issued in many parts of the country.

Tom, who hails from Cornwall, had a successful rugby career, representing England six times between 2001 and 2006. He played for various teams, including London Wasps, Bath, Gloucester, and London Welsh. After retiring from professional rugby in 2013, he had been living in Alnwick for the past four years.

The police have been working tirelessly to locate Tom since they received a report on Sunday about his disappearance. They have been conducting extensive searches, and their swift water team has been assisting in the investigation. Despite their best efforts, they have not been able to find Tom, and the search is ongoing.

Chief Superintendent Helena Barron of Northumbria Police expressed her condolences to Tom's family and friends, stating that this is an extremely tragic incident. She also requested privacy for his loved ones during this difficult time. The police have been facing challenges in their search due to the harsh conditions caused by the heavy rain over the weekend.

The search and rescue teams are doing everything they can to find Tom, with the support of the mountain rescue team and other volunteers. However, due to the conditions, there is no estimated time for when he will be found. The police thanked everyone who has helped in the search and extended their sympathies to Tom's family at this challenging time.
