The police are reporting that they do not suspect any foul play in the death of Robert Dyer, the British national who was reported missing on Sunday after going for a nature walk in the hilly Ballards Valley area of St Elizabeth.

The body of the 60-year-old British was found at 9:15 this morning.

Over the last four days, members of the Jamaica Constabulary Force, the Jamaica Defence Force and citizens were on a widescale search for Dyer, who got lost after going on a nature walk.

Dyer, who was born and raised in Ballards Valley before he moved to the United Kingdom, was reportedly a cancer survivor and was diabetic and hypertensive.
