Found Deceased UK - Harry Takhar, 58,‘ last seen in a wooded area’ Telford, 2 October 2022

[Occam22]

According to the group the police / search and rescue teams have been searching that area loads of times

Yet west Mercia fb said they were still concentrating on the stirchley area ? That was over 3 weeks since he ran away

 

[Occam22]

I don’t understand why no specific details are being passed on to the public by the family via the Facebook group or by the the police.
I think the reasons for the disappearance could go back much further than the day he is alleged to have gone missing.

<modsnip: rumors>

All they will say he’s vulnerable, which applies to all people who just run off with no warning and vanish. The way the social media posts state there Seems to have been so much more police interaction regarding Harry than other missing people in that area. Why is that? He may have planned this and just wants to be left in peace

 

[Occam22]

He’s been missing for too long already

There was recently another case in UK regarding an elderly man who went missing after leaving a note that he was suffering from a panic attack. It didn’t end well.

I’m afraid it doesn’t look too good at all for Harry, either. I do hope I’m mistaken!

Which one was that

 

[Occam22]

No sightings normally suggests that somebody has not travelled far but is not always the case.
Particularly in this case with somebody running/panicking it is hard to imagine they would not be spotted at all unless they went into a vehicle quite quickly but why would that have happened?
Unfortunately water seems the most likely.

Not one sighting confirmed since he ran off. His son chased him but could not keep up. Someone asked if he was ever actually there on a Facebook group about it but they got reprimanded and swiftly removed from the group.

So this gentlemen was suffering from dementia and did leave a note but not exactly to say he was about to harm himself. Then found in a river deceased a few weeks later.
Harry apparently gave no indication whatsoever to his family that he was going to run off. He had a panic attack according to the story but to be having a panic attack and outrun his son who said he couldn’t keep up?

 

[Occam22]

Nothing mentioned except for last sighting by family when he ran off

And one story said going to walk dogs - other said going to visit friends

The fb group for him is just urging people to share the appeals. Any questions or suggestions made on it seem to be deleted. Some suggestions may be useful but unable to make them for fear of them being removed or getting blocked off the group

Harry could have hidden from his son in the bushes

 

[MintSpy]

It’s so suss,
It’s either one or more of these things:

Official Story is legit and Harry ran away, harmed self or was harmed

Official Story is slightly legit but he is on the run from his family.

Harry’s Family had something to do with his disappearance and the official story is cover.

Harry’s Family helped him disappear for his and/or their safety.

Police are protecting reputation in some way?

 

[MintSpy]

Nothing new or credible on this. Such a strange case. Anyone got anything to add?

Really sad news
UPDATE | A body found in Bridgnorth Road in #Telford earlier this week is believed to be missing man Harjinder ‘Harry’ Takhar.

The discovery was made in an isolated woodland area off Bridgnorth Road in Telford shortly before midday on Monday 23 January.

While formal identification hasn’t taken place yet, officers believe it to be Harry and his family has been informed.

Harry, 58, from Telford, has been missing since the morning of Sunday 2 October 2022.

Detective Inspector Jo Whitehead, who led the enquiries into Harry’s disappearance, said: “This is a sad outcome to what has been a challenging and emotional search, but I’m pleased that Harry’s family now have some closure.

“I’d like to thank the public for their incredible response to our appeals to locate Harry and all the information that they provided to us during our enquiries.


“Harry’s family have asked me to express their sincere thanks for the support they have received from the community since Harry’s disappearance, and have asked that their privacy is respected at this distressing time.”

Harry’s death is not being treated as suspicious.

A widow has paid tribute to her husband after a four-month search for him ended in tragedy. Harjinder 'Harry' Takhar's widow, Ran Takhar, also thanked the thousands of people who joined an online campaign to find the dad-of-four.

A fundraising page has now been launched in memory of the 58-year-old, from Telford, after a body was found in woodland almost four months after he went missing. The family hopes to raise £50,000 for mental health charity Mind. The page has already received over £3,000 so far today.

Harry's widow, Ran Takhar, posted on the Facebook group saying: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank every single one of you for the ongoing love and support you have shown our family throughout this extremely difficult time. We are overwhelmed and humbled by the number of people who have rallied around us over the last four months. Your prayers and kind hearts have built this family’s strength, and for that we will forever be grateful.

"Harry, referred to as ‘Peter’ by family and childhood friends, had a zest for life and a strong passion for serving his community. To honour his memory and ensure his legacy lives on, we have set up a JustGiving page to raise vital donations to support the work of the charitable cause, Mind.

I’ve been thinking about Harry. We need emergency mental health departments in A&Es fit for purpose available 24hrs a day. When a person is in crisis, they need specialist help just like a heart attack. But there’s nothing. Phone lines aren’t any good in a crisis situation. You need physical assistance.

Regards Harry, was he sat in the woods all that time and died of starvation or was it suicide? How would he have done it in such a panic?

The family of Harjinder ‘Harry’ Takhar, who went missing on Sunday 2 October and whose body was sadly found in a woodland area in Telford on Monday 23 January, have today (Monday 30 January) released the following tribute to him and have created a JustGiving page in his memory: In loving memory of Harry Takhar:

“Harry, referred to as ‘Peter’ by family and childhood friends, was a respected and much-loved member of the community. He touched the lives of so many people, whether that be family, friends or strangers he met on his daily dog walks.

“Harry was many things; a loving husband, a father to four children (and two beautiful Labradors - Maxwell & Jack), and a die-hard Leeds United fan. Above all, Harry had a glowing aura and was a source of inspiration to everyone he crossed paths with in his life. He lived life to the fullest, in the present moment, and taught those surrounding him to recognise the beauty in themselves, others, and the wonderful world in which we all live.

“There are moments which we'll hugely miss, such as Harry's singing and dancing outbursts in the kitchen, the stories he would share about his travels around India, and the cups of tea he would brew to perfection. While these are now cherished memories, we, as a family, know that Harry's legacy of bringing people together in love and light will live on forever.

“Whether it's a parent, sibling, best friend or co-worker, 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem throughout our lives.

“His legacy of unconditional love and bringing people together from all walks of life will live on. To commemorate his kind and generous spirit, the family have set up a JustGiving page to raise donations in Harry’s memory for Mind. This is a charity that means a lot to the family and any donations would be hugely appreciated by them. You can visit the page here and make a donation In loving memory of Harry Takhar

“Thank you so much for all your support, it really does mean a lot.”
