Body of missing Harry Greaves from Shropshire found in Peru mountains
A Shropshire man who disappeared in Peru nearly two weeks ago has been found dead by search teams.
Authorities say the body of Harry Greaves was discovered by police and volunteers in a 40-metre crevasse.
Mr Greaves, was originally from Bronygarth, near Oswestry, but lived in Wrexham.
Harry, a furniture maker, arrived in Peru in February and attended a permaculture course in Pisac, near Cusc before visiting friends.
On April 7, he began a solo hike through the scenic region of the country's southeast, where he was to spend his birthday on April 9. Friends expected to see him again on April 10, but never heard from him or saw him again. His 29th birthday was on 9 April.
A crowdfunding page to help with the search for Harry raised nearly £33,000. The Lucie Blackman Trust, a charity involved in the search had been using drones to search the area around the village of Pisac.
A statement from Harry's family reads: "Our dearest Harry has been found. It is with great sadness that we announce that his smile will no longer give such light, he will no longer give calm through his touch, and wisdom through his words.
"Thank you to everyone who has helped us find our beloved Harry. His spirit will always be with us. From his loving family."
