Body found in Colombia search for missing Briton Anton Green
A body has been found in Colombia during the search for Anton Green, a 43-year-old British man from Manchester who had been missing since August. His family have been told of the discovery, and the Foreign Office says it is supporting them and is in contact with local authorities.
Green had lived in Colombia for three years and was described by Marcus Rashford as a family friend when the footballer shared an appeal for information. His family said they had not heard from him since 5 August, which was out of character; they believed he had been in areas near Bogotá and may have planned to travel to Ecuador.

Anton Green is a 43-year-old British man from Manchester who went missing in Colombia in August after becoming unreachable by his family. He had been living in the country for three years, and his sudden lack of contact was uncharacteristic.
The case attracted wider public attention when Marcus Rashford, the Manchester footballer, shared an appeal for information and described Green as a family friend. This helped raise awareness of his disappearance beyond the usual channels for missing person cases.
