The body of Leah Bedford, 16, was found in the River Ouse in York.
The family of a teenager whose body was found in a York river have called for more safety measures on the waterway.
Leah's family want more CCTV, lighting and fencing to be installed along the riverbank to help people to be found faster if they fall in the water.Ms Reynolds described Leah as a "bubbly, headstrong, very intelligent girl". "We can't stop the children from hanging around with their mates down by the river, so make it safer for them. Lighting, CCTV, fencing, anything to stop them from falling in, or going in drunk."
York Rescue Boat said it had been called out more than 35 times so far in 2023 to help people who have gone into the river.
