Police have discovered a body believed to be that of a British man who went missing on the Costa del Sol last month. The man, identified as Andrew Wade, aged 65, was last seen on August 15 near Marbella. Friends expressed deep concern after he left his residence, prompting a search effort by National Police officers. The body was found in the Paraiso area near Estepona.
A police spokesperson stated that an extensive search operation was conducted to locate the missing individual, who was reportedly planning to return to his home country. Following thorough investigations into his movements, authorities, along with local agencies, combed the area where the body was eventually located. The identity confirmation and cause of death are pending.
While awaiting official confirmation, sources close to the investigation indicated that the body is likely that of Andrew Wade. Reports from when he disappeared mentioned his abandonment of his pets, which was uncharacteristic of him according to acquaintances who described him as a “lovely” person. Spanish charity SOS Desaparecidos appealed for any relevant information to assist in the case. It was noted that at the time of his disappearance, he may have been driving a black Volkswagen Golf.
