A desperate four-month search for a missing teenager has ended in tragedy after a body was discovered in a village pond.
The discovery was made on Tuesday, 11th June, in the Redland area of Bristol, bringing a devastating conclusion to the investigation into the disappearance of 19-year-old Jack O’Sullivan.
Jack was last seen in the early hours of Saturday, 2nd March, after a night out with friends. His heartbroken family had tirelessly appealed for information, clinging to hope for his safe return.
In a solemn statement, Avon and Somerset Police confirmed the development. "Formal identification has not yet taken place," a force spokesperson said, "however, Jack’s family have been informed of this update and are being supported by specially trained officers."
The discovery sends shockwaves through the local community, which had rallied to support the O’Sullivan family throughout the agonising search. The death is not being treated as suspicious, and a file is being prepared for the coroner.
