POLICE searching for a missing vulnerable pensioner from Brighouse have recovered a body from water near River Street.
Barry Nicholson, 70, was last seen on River Street shortly before 8pm on Sunday evening.
Police were called around 8.45pm on Tuesday evening (August 15) to an area of water near River Street in Brighouse following a report that a body was in the water.
Officers attended and the body of an elderly male was recovered by colleagues from West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
In a statement earlier in the week, before the discovery, a spokesman for Calderdale Police said: "Mr Nicholson is known to regularly walk around the Brighouse area and frequent public houses in the town. He may appear confused."
Mr Nicholson's family has been informed.
