#LatestNews - Can you help us find missing man Nick Fisher from West Dorset?

Nick, aged 63, was last seen in Hooke at around 4.30pm on Tuesday 15 November 2022. He left the area in a silver Nissan Navara truck with the registration number YE71 DFA.

Nick is described as five feet nine inches tall and of medium build with sandy coloured hair and tattoos on both arms. He left with a brown and white Springer Spaniel dog.

Inspector David Parr, of Dorset Police, said: “Nick left the area unexpectedly and has not been in contact with family or friends, which is out of character.

“I would urge anyone who has seen Nick, or a man matching the description given, to please contact Dorset Police.

“Also, I am appealing to anyone who has seen the vehicle either travelling in the area or parked up locally to please come forward.

“Finally, if you see this appeal Nick – please contact us or your family as we all just want to make sure you are safe and well.”

Anyone with information or knowledge as to Nick’s whereabouts is asked to contact Dorset Police at www.dorset.police.uk/contact or by calling 101, quoting incident number 15:644.

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall has issued a desperate appeal to track down his 'very dearest friend' and River Cottage star Nick Fisher who went missing with his springer spaniel dog on Tuesday.

BAFTA-winning script writer and celebrity fisherman Mr Fisher has not been seen since he left his Dorset home with his springer spaniel at 4.30pm on Tuesday, November 15.

Police are becoming increasingly worried for the 63-year-old who appeared alongside TV chef Mr Fearnley-Whittingstall on his Channel 4 show and its spin-off, River Cottage: Gone Fishing.

Mr Fisher, a former EastEnders script writer and author of a crime thriller novel, was last seen in the west Dorset village of Hooke, near Beaminster, where he lives.

 
Oh no, how awful.

#LatestNews - Officers carrying out enquiries to locate a missing man from West Dorset have very sadly located a body.

Nick Fisher, aged 63, was last seen in Hooke during the afternoon of Tuesday 15 November 2022.

Following extensive enquires and searches by officers, assisted by Dorset Search and Rescue (DorSAR), the body of a man was sadly located in Dorchester during the morning of Thursday 17 November 2022.

While formal identification has not yet taken place, the body is believed to be that of Nick Fisher and his family has been informed. The death is not being treated as suspicious and HM Coroner has been notified.

Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Nick at this extremely difficult time.

We would like to thank everyone who assisted with the searches, as well as the public for their help in providing information.

The body of River Cottage star Nick Fisher was found in a hotel room after he took a fatal cocktail of drugs, an inquest has heard.

The 63-year-old was found by police at the Wessex Royale Hotel in Dorchester on November 17, last year, days after his friend Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall pleaded for the publics help to find him.

Mr Fisher, who was an award-winning TV writer involved in Casualty, Holby City, EastEnders and New Tricks had disappeared from his home in Hooke, Dorset, 48 hours before.

An inquest into his death was opened today and heard that a post-mortem had determined he had taken a cocktail of drugs.

The hearing at Bournemouth Town Hall was told that Mr Fisher had last been seen in a silver Nissan Navara truck accompanied by his brown and white Springer Spaniel dog on November 15.

He left his home in the village of Hooke near Bridport in his silver Nissan Navara YE71 DFA pick up on Tuesday afternoon, with his brown and white spaniel. The car was seen just half an hour later on a police camera near Dorchester.

'It seems Nick might have bought a cup of tea in a hotel near there, but he didn't stay there and he hasn't been seen since. It's so unlike Nick to do this and of course we are very worried for his safety.

'We are desperate to find him and if you have seen anything at all that could help us please call 101 and quote the case number 15:644. I'm also posting the appeal from the local news website with a picture of Nick.'

Mr Fisher was later found in a room at the Wessex Royal Hotel and was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Dorset coroner Brendan Allen opened and adjourned the inquest for a full hearing on July 5.
