Quick Summary

A body has been discovered during the search for Anton Green, a 43-year-old British man who was reported missing in August after he stopped communicating with his family while living near Bogotá, Colombia. Green, described as a "family friend" of Manchester United's Marcus Rashford and brother of former Manchester United youth player Ro-shaun Williams, had been in Colombia for three years before vanishing without warning, which was unusual given his regular communication habits. His sister Sian Tuohey appealed for information from locals and expats regarding his last known whereabouts around the Fontibón and Mesitas del Colegio areas of Bogotá.

Story summary

Anton Green, a 43-year-old British man from Manchester, who had been living in Colombia for two-and-a-half to three years, was reported missing in August after he stopped responding to messages. His family said his disappearance was out of character as he kept in frequent contact before. The discovery of a body believed to be Green devastated his family and friends, including footballer Marcus Rashford, who described him as a "family friend." The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed the finding of the British national's body in Colombia. His mother, Nylva McKie-Williams, said her last words from Green were “we will speak at the weekend” in August.
