A missing person was found dead during an urgent search operation in Wiltshire.
Wiltshire Police launched a major operation to find a man who disappeared from an address in Bull Lane in Crockerton, near Warminster, on Sunday (15 October).
Searches were carried out during the daytime and into the evening – with the National Police Air Service helicopter circling the area at 8.30pm.
Wiltshire Search and Rescue (WILSAR) volunteers, supported by other search charities from Hampshire and the Avon and Somerset area, were tasked with locating the missing person.
A specially-trained search dog called Maya located the man deceased – and volunteers, with police officers, worked to recover his body.
