He was last seen on 28 December in Highfield Rise in his home town of Chester-le-Street. A body was discovered at St Abbs Head in Berwickshire on Saturday afternoon by passing canoeists.

Border Bomb Alert
A security alert in Co Armagh in Northern Ireland is causing severe disruption to traffic between the city of Newry and Dundalk in the Irish Republic. A PSNI spokesperson said the alert was in place on the M1, south of Newry. Gardaí have closed the road on southern side of the border and motorists have been warned of significant delays. Translink has again advised passengers that there is an ongoing security alert between Newry and Dundalk on the Belfast to Dublin line as well. As a result there will be a bus substitution service between Newry and Dundalk until further notice for all Enterprise services.
