Police have issued an update after a man fell from a boat and into the water at a Warwickshire beauty spot. The incident happened at Draycote Water on Thursday afternoon.

This morning, just after 9am, (30 May) police have updated to say the park remains closed as they continue to search for the individual, more than 15 hours after he fell.

Police have again urged people to stay away from the scene. The man's family are being supported while the search continues.

A spokesman for Warwickshire Police said: "Draycote Water near Rugby remains shut today, Friday, as we work with our emergency services colleagues to search for a man who fell into the water

from a boat yesterday afternoon.

"Please do not attempt to enter the site, it will cause a distraction to our searchers. Specialist officers continue to support the man’s family."

The water park posted on its social media channels last night (29 May): "Draycote Water is currently closed to the public and will be all day on 30 May 2025. The sailing club, fishing club

and restaurant will all be closed.

"We kindly ask that you do not visit the site at this time - we’re sorry about this and will let you know when it will reopen. We’d like to thank the emergency services who are on-site, and

we also thank you for your understanding."

We have approached the local emergency services for more information.
