Body found in search for missing dad, 28, just weeks after the birth of his son – as his heartbroken family pays tribute
A BODY has been found by police looking for a missing dad, who vanished just weeks after the birth of his son. Brandon Parfitt, 28, went missing on Sunday evening with his family issuing a desperate plea for him to return home. His family said he has a newborn son, less than two months old. Brandon last made contact with his brother Tristan Parfitt just two hours before he was last seen in his home town of Ebbw Vale, South Wales. His family became increasingly worried for Brandon's welfare as he "suffered with low mental health". They desperately banded together to search for him for the sake of his young son. But in a statement on Tuesday evening, a spokesperson for Gwent Police said: "We received a call that the body of a man had been found in Pontygof, Ebbw Vale, on Tuesday 19 August. "Formal identification has yet to take place, however, the family of Brandon Parfitt, have been notified. "Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this difficult time." An inquest is due to be held.
