West Midlands Police say a body has been found in the search for a missing 20-year-old man.

Ebenezer has been missing since leaving his family home in Walsgrave in Coventry at around 1pm on Monday 1 April.

In a statement by his family at the time he went missing, they said: "This is so unlike Ebenezer and we've all been unable to rest not knowing where he is and that he's safe and well.

"We're so worried and it is affecting our every day lives.

"He does not know the area well and we have spent hour upon hour, day after day, looking for him to no avail."

On X, formerly Twitter, Coventry Police say formal identification is yet to take place and the death is not being treated as suspicious.

Ebenezer's family are being supported by specially trained officers.
