Body found after man, 28, disappeared on camping trip with friends 10 weeks ago

A body has been found in the search for a man who went missing while on a camping trip 10 weeks ago.

Reece Rodger, from Fife, Scotland, was camping with a group of friends on the shore of Loch Rannoch in Perthshire when he vanished on March 18.

The 28-year-old's pals thought he was heading to bed at around 11.30pm but he was nowhere to be seen the following morning. 

Police Scotland confirmed the body of a man was discovered on the north shore of Loch Rannoch yesterday morning, near where he was last spotted.

No formal identification has yet taken place, however his family have been informed.

Urgent searches had been ongoing since Mr Rodger disappeared from near the freshwater lake in the Kinloch Rannoch area.

Officers had also urged the public to keep their eyes peeled.

A spokesman for the force said: 'Around 10.45am on Saturday, the body of a man was discovered on the north shore of Loch Rannoch.

'Although the deceased has yet to be formally identified, the family of Fife man Reece Rodger, 28, who was last seen on the north shore of Loch Rannoch on March 18, has been made aware.

'A report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.'

Elsewhere yesterday, the body of a 15-year-old boy who had gone missing was discovered after he'd got into difficulty in a river in Carlisle.

Earlier this week, a body was also found in the search for a 24-year-old who hadn't been seen for almost a week since failing to show up for work.
