Police have called off a three-month search for a missing man after his body was found.
Kieran Devlin, from Grays, was last seen on December 22 and both Essex Police and his family had issued a public plea for help to find him.
But police have today (Wednesday, March 16) revealed they are no longer looking for Mr Devlin after a man's body was found earlier this week.
A force spokesman said: "We are no longer looking for Kieran Devlin following the discovery of a man’s body in Grays on Monday.
"A post-mortem examination will be carried out to determine the cause of death before a file is submitted to the coroner.
"We are providing support for Kieran’s family and they have requested privacy at this time."
