A body has been found in the search for a missing Dorchester man.
Hugh Cox, 61, has been missing since leaving home to go to work in Poole on the morning of Tuesday, June 20.
His abandoned blue Volkswagen Tiguan Estate was discovered at Ringstead Bay at 9.30pm that evening.
This afternoon, Dorset Police confirmed they are working with colleagues in Hampshire and the coroner to identify the body of a man discovered off the coast of the Isle of Wight yesterday.
Formal identification has not taken place but Hugh's family have been informed of the discovery and are being supported by specially-trained officers.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
