Body found in search for missing Staffordshire man
Police searching for a man who went missing earlier this week have found a body.
Detectives from Staffordshire Police have called off the search for George Horton, who was last seen in Hednesford on Wednesday.
The body of a man, believed to be the 57-year-old, was found in the Cannock area shortly after 11am on Thursday.
Detective Inspector Richard Dancey, of the force’s southern investigation team, said: "George’s family has been informed and our thoughts and condolences are with them at this very difficult time.
“They are being supported by specially-trained officers."
Formal identification will take place in due course.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and details are being passed on to the coroner.
