A body discovered this morning is suspected to be that of Dan Nicholls.
A member of the public reported finding the body at 8.10am in Rottingdean and the body is currently being recovered from the scene.
DCI Carwyn Hughes said: "Dan's family has been informed and has yet to make a formal identification but it is likely to be Dan. We are supporting them in what has been a horrendous weekend for all those involved. Our search is now suspended while identification is confirmed."
