Police searching for missing teenager Luke Fingleton have sadly found a body in woods near Rawtenstall
Luke Fingleton who was reported missing from his home in Bacup by family last Sunday.
In a statement Lancashire Police said that yesterday afternoon the body of a man was discovered deceased in woodland off Haslingden Road in Rawtenstall.
While formal identification has not yet taken place, we believe it to be Luke.
The tragic news has been delivered to Luke’s next of kin and our thoughts are with them at this devastating time. This is not the outcome anybody wanted.
Luke’s death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be passed to HM Coroner in due course.
We would just like to take this opportunity to thank everybody who shared our appeals and, again, pass on our deepest condolences to Luke’s family.
