A body has been found in Newcastle Harbour a week after police revealed a missing man may have gone swimming there alone after leaving a nightclub.

The body was discovered in the water near Fullerton Street in Stockton just before midday on Wednesday.

Last week police launched an appeal to find 20-year-old Jackson Baker who was at a nightclub with his girlfriend, but left alone at around 1.30am last Thursday.
