The body of Charlie Saywell, a 25-year-old soldier described by friends as a “true role model,” was discovered in the River Medway near Chatham on Tuesday, March 5. A worker noticed his mud-covered body around 10:50 at Turks Shipyard. Emergency services, including police, paramedics, the fire service, and HM Coastguard, responded to the scene, but tragically, Mr. Saywell was already deceased.

The events leading up to Charlie’s death remain shrouded in mystery. On the evening prior to his demise, he had been socialising with friends before taking a taxi to his address in Brompton. However, instead of heading directly home, he embarked on a walk into Chatham town centre sometime between 00.10 and 02.40.
