Body found is man missing from Sevenoaks
Comments |
A body found in woods is that of a man
who went missing several months ago.
The body discovered in Pilots Wood,
near Shoreham, Sevenoaks, on Sunday, November 2, is that of
Bernard Coomber, police have confirmed.
He went missing from his home in Larkfield Close, Sevenoaks, in
January 2009.
The death is not being treated as suspicious
and a report will be prepared for the coroner. An inquest was
opened and adjourned on Thursday, November 5.
Mr Coomber’s sister, Anne Langridge, issued a
tribute and thank you through Kent Police.
She said: “The news that Bernard’s body had been found was
something we had been expecting for a long time but it still came
as a shock to us. All the time we didn’t hear anything meant
there was a little bit of hope.
"Bernard was a quiet man who lived alone but he is missed and
will continue to be in our thoughts.
"We would like to thank everyone who has supported us,
especially family and friends, and those people who came forward
with information when Bernard first went missing.”
Kent Police thanked the media
and public for their support with the missing person
appeal.
