He had been missing since December 23rd.

A body has been found during the search for a missing Irishman in the UK.

45-year-old Kevin Lynch from Dublin disappeared on the 23rd of December 2019 after visiting the Bristol area.

CCTV footage shows him in the harbourside area at 2.51am that day.

A force spokesman said a body had been discovered during searches by police divers shortly after 9am on Friday.

“The family of Mr Lynch, who has been missing since 23 December, have been notified,” a force spokesman said.

They say a formal ID of the body is still to be undertaken but have now called off the search.

“We would like to thank members of the public for their support and assistance during the search for Mr Lynch.”

Detectives previously described the disappearance of Mr Lynch as out of character and said he was not familiar with the area.
