A BODY found at a Somerset beauty spot is believed to be that of a man missing for around nine months.

Police were called to land at Wearyall Hill, Glastonbury, just before 9.20am on Tuesday (May 18) after a man reported discovering a man's body.

Formal identification is not expected for some days.

But officers have been in touch with the family of Lawrence Kemp, missing from his Glastonbury home since August 2020, to tell them of the discovery.

An Avon and Somerset Police spokesperson said: "Our hearts go out to them and we thank them for their patience while we work to confirm the identity of the deceased.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and in due course a report will be made to the coroner."
