Search for missing Jerseyman

A coordinated search between the emergency services took place in Jersey in December 2015 to look for a 20-year-old man who disappeared after a work night out.

Eight months later a body was recovered from a reservoir, near to where Adrian Lynch went missing. Adrian's passport was in the jacket on the body.

Adrian left friends at a work party at midnight on Friday 4th December and got into a taxi to go home.

The last known sighting of him was in the early hours of Saturday morning (5th) in the area of Bon Air Stables.

Post mortem examination to take place on body found in reservoir

Handois reservoir, where the body was found

A post mortem examination is due to take place today on a body found in Handois Reservoir.

The area is around 100 metres from where Adrian Lynch was last seen and his passport was found in the jacket on the body.

Remains were found partially submerged in the water by workers at around 10am yesterday.

Police are treating the death as 'unexplained' and a pathologist from the UK will conduct an examination later.

Officers say they are supporting Adrian's family, but formal identification will take some time.

The Deputy Viscount has been kept apprised and Police Family Liaison Officers are supporting the family of Adrian Lynch.

Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
