Xavier Thomas was found Tuesday night in the water by the Metropolitan Police's specialist marine unit. He was walking with his girlfriend Christine Delcros across the bridge when the terrorists struck, the Evening Standard reported. Witnesses reported seeing a man falling into the river after being hit by the van driven by terrorists on Saturday night.
Delcros was badly injured in the attack and is now recovering in hospital after undergoing a two-hour operation to reset her shattered pelvis. Thomas' family were informed of his death yesterday after his identity was confirmed, the police said.
