A BODY discovered on a Greek island has been identified as a man from Sussex.

Nick Stonley's remains were found at an abandoned building site in Rhodes in September.

The 40-year-old, who lived in Brooklands Way, East Grinstead, had gone to the island earlier this year to open a snack bar but the business failed.

Mr Stonley disappeared after going on a walk on the island on July 29.

Despite appeals for information from his wife Virginia, 34, and father Ray, there was no sign of him.

A Foreign Office spokeswoman today confirmed the body of a Briton had been identified but said the exact cause of Mr Stonley's death was still not known.
