So sad RIP Alex

We can sadly confirm that 33-year-old Alex, from Cannock, has been found deceased.

Alex was reported missing on Saturday 22 August.

Specialist searches have been taking place using police search officers and volunteers from search and rescue teams, supported by detectives and officers working away from the scene.

Sadly, Alex was found yesterday (Friday 28 August) on Cannock Chase.

Officers attended alongside colleagues from West Midlands Ambulance Service.

We are not treating his death as suspicious and a file will be prepared for HM Coroner.

We’d like to thank everyone who has come forward with information as part of the efforts to try and find him, as well as those who shared the appeals for information.

We would like to send our condolences to the family during this difficult time and ask for sensitivity around this event during this grieving period.

🌧️ Well… Cannock finally got a proper soaking today! 😂

After all that dry weather, the rain definitely made up for lost time.

So we want to know…

What’s the first thing you noticed today? 👇
🚗 Every pothole suddenly became a swimming pool
🌱 The garden looked happier within an hour
☔ Nobody could remember where they’d put the umbrella
🐕 The dog took one look outside and changed its mind

One thing’s for sure — British summer is back on form! 🇬🇧😂

How did the rain catch you out today? Drop a comment and tag a friend who got caught in it! 👇

Stay dry, Cannock 💗

🖤 Remembering Elvis Presley — 16th August 1977 🖤

49 years ago today, the world lost the one and only Elvis Presley — The King of Rock ’n’ Roll. 👑🎶

His music, style and incredible presence changed the world forever, and nearly half a century later, his songs are still played, loved and remembered by millions.

From Suspicious Minds to The Wonder of You, there’ll never be another Elvis.

Gone, but certainly never forgotten. ❤️

What’s your favourite Elvis song? 🎤👇
