A body has been discovered in the search for Matthew Young, a 17-year-old who went missing on his way home from college. The teenager was last seen in Bury town centre at approximately 2.30pm on Wednesday, with his disappearance described as 'out of character'.
Matthew was described as a white male, 6ft tall, of slim build with ginger hair and glasses. He was last seen wearing a green jacket, dark jeans, black boots, and carrying a black rucksack.
A public appeal for help was issued on Thursday as concerns grew for the teenager, but a body was sadly found hours later. Tributes have been paid online, with one person posting: 'RIP Matthew, lost of words, shocked to hear, thoughts for family. God give them strength.'
