A body has been found in the search for Anton Green, 43, a British man missing in Colombia since August.

A body has been found in the search for Anton Green, 43, from Manchester, who went missing in Colombia in August after stopping contact with his family. The Mirror reports Green had not been heard from since August 6, while the Daily Mail states his family had not heard from him since August 5. His family said the discovery came shortly after they renewed their appeal for information.

Green had been living in Colombia for between two-and-a-half and three years. The Daily Mail reports he was fluent in Spanish and had settled near the capital Bogotá after falling in love with the country's culture following travels around Europe and South America. His sister Sian Tuohey, 40, previously told the Mirror that the search was taking its toll on the family. The Daily Mail reports she described him as a 'happy, decent guy' who had experienced mental health difficulties around the same time the previous year.

Green's mother Nylva McKie-Williams told the BBC that it was 'so unlike him not to be in contact with us', adding his last words to her in August were 'we will speak at the weekend'. Green is the brother of former Manchester United youth team defender Ro-shaun Williams. Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford described Green as a family friend and shared a missing person appeal on Instagram.
