The victim of a tragic drowning on the Norfolk Broads has been named after an inquest into his death opened.

Henry Keith, of Hoe near Dereham, died at Wroxham Broad in a swimming accident last weekend, at the age of 25.

An inquest into his death was opened at Norfolk Coroner's Court on Friday afternoon, during which details were read out by coroner Johanna Thompson.

Mrs Thompson confirmed that Mr Keith was born on December 2, 1998 and worked as a company director.

The medical cause of his death was given as drowning.

Mr Keith had been on a boat with friends on the broad late last Friday night.

He jumped in for a swim but did not resurface.

The incident happened shortly before midnight and prompted a major search operation which continued over the weekend and saw the broad closed to the public.

The body of Mr Keith, who was a director for the Organic Pig Company, was recovered from the water on Sunday.

Adjourning the case until January 6 next year, Mrs Thompson stated that the medical cause of his death was drowning.
