Update – body found on Portland

A body has very sadly been found on a beach on Portland and is believed to be that of missing Joe Clements from Weymouth.

Dorset Police received a report at 5.45am on Wednesday 5 July 2023 that a body had been found on Chesil Beach.

While the body has not yet been formally identified, it is believed to be that of Joe – who was reported missing having last been seen at around 11am on Tuesday 20 June 2023 – and his family has been informed.

The death is not being treated as suspicious and HM Coroner has been notified.

Chief Inspector Andy Edwards, of Dorset Police, said: “Our thoughts are with Joe’s family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time and officers are doing all they can to support them.

“I would like to thank everyone who has been involved in the search efforts over the past three weeks.”
