Body of Leighton Buzzard man who last seen near his boat in Aylesbury Vale found in canal near Tring
The body of a missing 37-year-old Leighton Buzzard man who was last seen near a boat he owned in Aylesbury Vale and frequented a popular bar in Milton Keynes has sadly been found in the Grand Union Canal near Tring.
Officers leading the search for the missing Leighton Buzzard man have announced a body was found in the canal at Pitstone and is believed to be that of missing Benjamin. Thames Valley Police do not release surnames of missing people unless there are explicit reasons to do so.
Benjamin had last been seen by members of his family at around 3pm on Saturday near to his boat in Cheddington.
He was also known to frequent the MK11 live music venue and sports bar in Milton Keynes, the force revealed.
Police had stated they were concerned for Benjamin’s welfare when they appealed for help to find him on Wednesday.
The discovery of his body was made following extensive searches by officers of the Marine Unit and volunteers from Buckinghamshire Search and Rescue.
Although formal identification has not yet taken place, police believe this to be Benjamin, aged 37.
“His family has been informed, and our thoughts are with them at this very difficult time,” a police spokesman said.
The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not suspicious, and a file will be prepared for the Buckinghamshire Coroner.
