Body Found After Search for Missing Whitby Man

Tuesday, 24 June 2025 14:26

North Yorkshire Police say officers searching for missing Martin Garbutt have found a body.

Police issued an appeal to help find Martin last week.

In an update today the North Yorkshire force said:

"Last week we issued an appeal to help find missing Martin Garbutt who was last seen in the Glaisdale area.

Sadly, officers searching for Martin sadly found a body last week. 

While formal identification is yet to take place, Martin’s family have been informed.

Our thoughts remain with them at this sad time.

Officers believe there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding Martin's death and a file will be prepared for the Coroner to inform a future inquest."
