Rescue teams searching for British man Matthew Hall in the Italian Alps have found a body.

The discovery was made on Wednesday evening close to the Cross of Daloo, a mountain viewpoint high above the town of Chiavenna, where the 33-year-old had been staying.

Mr Hall, from Hull, went missing on 9 July. Italian police said his family had been informed.

Sam Jackson, who travelled to Italy to join the search, said everyone was in shock at the loss of an "amazing" friend.

"We all absolutely loved him," he added. "At least we are bringing him home – back to where he should be."

A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said: "We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Italy and are in contact with the local authorities."

Lt Gim Toni De Masi said a body was found at 19:00 local time in a crevice in the area from where Mr Hall sent the message.

Due to the danger involved in reaching the body, a helicopter was brought in to assist with the recovery.

Mr Hall's mother arrived in Italy on Wednesday. His father is expected to arrive on Friday, the officer added.
