The search for Belfast’s John George ends tragically with the discovery of his body in Spain
Belfast: The search for John George has come to a heartbreaking end. His body was found in Spain, and it’s been a tough journey for his family.
John, 37, was on holiday in Alicante and last spoke to his family on December 14. They reported him missing when he didn’t catch his flight back home.
His dad, Billy, reached out to a law firm for help, and they got the news from Spanish police that they believed they found John’s remains.
It’s a mix of emotions for the family. They’re devastated but also relieved to finally have some answers. His body is now in a morgue, waiting for formal identification.
Family and friends had flown to Spain to help with the search and made public appeals for any information. It was a real community effort.
John’s parents, siblings, and many friends from Northern Ireland were all involved in the search. They’ve been through so much during this time.
Now, a murder investigation is underway, and the family is asking for privacy as they navigate this difficult situation.
They expressed gratitude to everyone who supported them and are now focusing on the next steps in this painful process.
Police in Northern Ireland have been working with Spanish authorities, trying to piece together what happened since John was reported missing.
