Carl had been missing since Friday 23rd August.
Officers searching for missing Carl Joy from Morecambe have sadly found a body.
In a statement released today, Lancashire Police said,
“We have a very sad update to bring you in our search for Carl Joy, 62, who has been missing from his home in Morecambe since 23rd August.
Our officers were called just before 10am today to the tow path of the Lancaster Canal at Capernwray, Carnforth.
A body was found in undergrowth next to the tow path and while no formal identification has yet taken place, we believe it to be Carl.
His family have been informed and our thoughts are very much with them at this sad and distressing time.
The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed in due course to HM Coroner.
As part of our investigation, if anyone saw a man on the tow path – Carl is believed to have been on a bicycle – please contact 101, quoting log 1472 of 23rd August 2024.
