POLICE have confirmed they pulled the body of a man from a pond in the Llanddewi Brefi area this afternoon.
A Dyfed-Powys Police spokeswoman said the alarm was raised by friends yesterday afternoon after the man had gone into the water but failed to come out.
She added: "The others got out of the pond and raised the alarm when the man did not return a little while later.
"There was a licensed festival taking place on nearby land.
"Specialist searches were conducted last night and continued today in the pond and the surrounding area, but tragically a body has been recovered from the water this afternoon."
The force spokeswoman said efforts were now being made to trace the next of kin.
