The following day, police found his car parked 10 miles away in the village of Snarestone, near Measham, Leicestershire.

Investigators then launched an urgent appeal to find Max, who was last seen wearing his Ocado work uniform.

They said his family were “extremely concerned” for his welfare.

However, sadly the young man’s body was found yesterday afternoon, not far from his vehicle.

In an update on Saturday night, Leicestershire Police said: “A body has been found in the search for missing man Max Walsh.

“The 21-year-old was last seen on Thursday afternoon when he left his place of work in Dordon, Warwickshire.

“He was reported missing when he failed to return home.

“A body has been found this afternoon (Saturday 15 November) near to where his vehicle was found unattended on Friday, in the Snarestone area of Leicestershire.

“Formal identification is yet to take place, but it is believed to be Max. His family are being supported by specialist officers.

“The death is being treated as unexplained at this time, and a 66-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the discovery.”
