Body found in search for missing man, 21, last seen leaving party

A BODY has been found in the search for a missing man who was last seen leaving a party in West London on Saturday.

Although the body has yet to be formally identified, police believe it belongs to the 21-year-old Paul Conte.

Poor, poor guy.

 

[MsMiniSleuth]

I feel quite sad about this one. Shed a little tear. Some get to you more than others, and although I had waited to post in case he was found, I had been reading about him early yesterday. He reminds me of the many young guys I come into contact with in my music writing life.

I said previously being so close to water had my alarm bells ringing. I hope it was maybe an accident, he had a few too many at the party, and slipped or fell, and not that he had felt so alone, and life was too hopeless to go on.

Rest easy now, Paul.

Paul's sister, Leanne Conte, has slammed the Metropolitan Police for their response to the missing person appeal, as well as the support they received following her brother's death. She claims the police haven't told the family where his body is, when they will be able to formally ID it or when it will be released for a funeral.

Leanne said: "The police have been absolutely disgraceful in finding my brother. "After informing me of my brother being dead, we have had no further contact. "We don't know where he is currently being held. "We have no idea what is meant to happen next. We haven't even been to officially ID him yet."

How distressing for them.

His body was found by a member of the public in the River Thames at Putney Bridge at 7am on Wednesday.

Leanne has praised the public for the help they offered but feels the police let her family down.

"We found the footage so we could find the location he was seen, we told them where they needed to look," she said.

"A passer-by spotted him in the Thames."

Detective Chief Inspector Clive Vale, South West Public Protection Team, said: “My deepest sympathies go out to Paul’s family at this incredibly difficult time.

"We understand that this is a painful and difficult time for Paul’s friends and family. Officers are continuing to conduct an investigation into the circumstances of Paul’s death, which is being treated as unexplained.

"This was not the outcome that any of us had hoped for. In situations like these, we aim to do everything in our power to find out what happened and bring closure to the family. As part of our efforts to find Paul we conducted searches, reviewed CCTV, and conducted face to face enquiries.

“We are working closely with the coroner’s office and liaising with his family.

“As is routine in the circumstances, the matter has been referred to the Met's Directorate of Professional Standards."
