Story summary
The family of Anton Green, a British man from Manchester who had been living in Colombia for two-and-a-half years, was informed that a body believed to be his has been found. Anton stopped responding to messages in August 2023, which was out of character for him as he usually kept in frequent touch with his family. His mother, Nylva McKie-Williams, said his last message to her was "we will speak at the weekend." The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed that a British national's body had been discovered in Colombia. Marcus Rashford, a footballer, supported the search efforts for Green by describing him as a family friend.
