An appeal to find an Abertridwr man who went missing in Turkey has ended in tragedy after his body was found.

According to a family appeal posted on social media, Ben Crook was reportedly escorted off a plane in the country on Monday September 23.

He was then seen at 4am on Tuesday at the airport and then again at 12.30pm that day in Kaleici – on his 32nd birthday.

A Foreign Office spokesperson said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Turkey and we are in contact with the local authorities.”
