“Tim was found by friends of the family who had volunteered to help search for him.

“They found him on the Grouse Moor and the two men immediately notified officers who were nearby.

“Derbyshire Constabulary would like to offer sincere condolences to his family.”

Police do not believe there to be any suspicious circumstances.
