Body found in search for missing Weymouth man

Officers searching for a missing man in Weymouth have very sadly found a body.

At approximately 9.35am on Thursday 31 August 2023 the body of a man was located at Castle Cove beach.

While the body has not yet been formally identified, it is believed to be that of Daniel Matthews – who was last seen just before 9pm on Wednesday 30 August 2023 – and his family has been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and HM Coroner has been notified.

We would like to thank everyone who assisted with the searches and our thoughts are with Daniel’s family and loved ones at this extremely difficult time.
