POLICE searching for a missing Southampton man say they have discovered a body.

It comes after officers launched an appeal to help find Adam Lindley earlier today.

The 23-year-old had been missing from the St Mary's area since Saturday, October 14.

He was last sighted on CCTV taking his bike out of Liberty Point halls of residence at about 11.40am.

However, he had not been seen in person since he was spotted by another student at 5pm on Friday, October 13.

Police were called just after midnight today (22 October) to report him missing.

They have been searching the Lyndhurst area today.

Officers say Mr Lindley's next of kin have been informed.
