Thornton Reservoir: Body found at Midlands beauty spot in search for man missing three days ago
A body has been found at a UK beauty spot in the search for a missing man who vanished from his home three days ago.
Mark Parry, 45, was last seen on Wednesday afternoon at his home address in East Shilton, Leicestershire, police said. Leicestershire Police had previously appealed for information on his whereabouts saying officers and his family were “extremely concerned for his welfare.
He was reported to have left home with a holdall and a rucksack. The force added he was last in contact with a relative on Thursday morning before the grim discovery at a beauty spot nearly ten miles away.
A body was discovered at Thornton Reservoir on Saturday that police believe to be Mark. Although formal identification is yet to take place, his family have been informed and are being supported by officers.
They are not treating his death as suspicious and a file is being prepared for the HM Coroner.
