A BODY has been found in the search for a missing man.

Paul Punyer, from Langney, had not been seen since Wednesday after failing to turn up to work.

The 52-year-old’s body was found in woodland at Beachy Brow, near the junction of Peppercombe Road and Cherry Garden Road, in Eastbourne yesterday afternoon by a member of the public.

Formal identification is yet to take place, but police say it is Mr Punyer. There are no suspicious circumstances around his death.
