Overview
- The family have been told a body discovered in Colombia is believed to be 43-year-old Anton Green and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has said it is supporting the relatives.
- Green stopped regular contact with his family in early August, with his last message reported on August 5, and was reported missing to Greater Manchester Police and the British embassy.
- Relatives and friends mounted public appeals for information, and Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford shared the family's plea describing Green as a 'family friend.'
- Before he vanished, Green had lived in Colombia since 2023 and was staying in areas near Bogotá including Fontibón and Mesitas del Colegio; his family said he may have planned travel to Ecuador and had experienced mental‑health difficulties the previous year.
- Colombia's Attorney General's Office and local investigators will carry out forensic identification and enquiries to confirm the body's identity and establish the circumstances of death while the family await formal information.
