Formal identification has yet to take place, but Mr Hutchison's family have been informed.

The police search was focused on the South Queensferry area, the Forth Road Bridge and Fife.

On Thursday, Mr Hutchison's brothers, Grant and Neil, had said they were "distraught" about his disappearance and appealed for him to get in touch.

The pair spoke about their sibling's fight with depression and how he had helped others by speaking about his condition.
