Missing person search near Dove Crag

The Team were called after a man was reported missing by his partner, who had concerns for his welfare. He had failed to attend work, and police located his car at Cow Bridge car park. The Team conducted a hasty search of the fells near the car during the available daylight. Lake District search dogs and further resources were assembled to search from first light the following day, including a visiting RAF team, members of other Lake District mountain rescue teams, the regional drone search group, a swift-water rescue team and the mines rescue team. The search was stood down at about 12:00 the following day after the man was found deceased by a member of the public outside the Team's area.
