Body found in field outside Spalding thought to be missing man

A body has been found in a Spalding field this week which is believed to be a man missing since April.

Police were called to a field off West Road and South Drove shortly after 2pm on Monday January 24.

A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police, said: “We believe this to be the body of local man Matthew Hunt, who went missing in April 2021.

“There are no suspicious circumstances and it is believed that he had been there for some considerable time.

“This has now been passed to the Coroner’s Office to arrange the process of a formal identification.

“Matthews family have been informed and we send them our deepest condolences.”

Police have appealed for help in finding Mr Hunt on several occasions in recent months since his last confirmed sighting in Pinchbeck last April.
