Sally, thanks for this. I'm so desperately sorry to hear this. Can't summon any solace at all. Just tragic.

So so sorry to read this - lets hope he died quickly and peacefully. Poor Ann and her family.

Isn't it time that there was a formal strategy on how to search, where to advertise etc when someone with dementia or other mental health problems that may prevent them making themselves known or asking for help, go missing?

So much effort put in by many but a set routine and structure could maybe prevent future tragedies like this.

I agree Celia, there is a police action plan called 'Child Rescue Alert', similar to , Operation Amber in the USA when a child gos missing. It shouldn't, I would have thought been too difficult to put something similar in place for a missing person with dementia.

I'm so sorry to hear this, my thoughts are with Ann and her family - although I'm glad that at least they have some answers however sad they are.

Please take down any posters

I see Sallyc has already broken the sad news.

Can I please ask anyone who is displaying a poster or sees one displayed remove it as soon as possible.

Ann thanks everyone for their help & support but asks that the family be allowed to mourn their loss in private.

Holding Ann & her family in my heart, thoughts & prayers. RIP Gwyn

Mo
