Body found in search for 21-year old Finn Coyle who has been missing in the Perth hills
A body has been found in the search of a missing 21-year-old man who was last seen leaving his home on foot seven days ago. Finn Coyle, 21, failed to return after he left his family home on Tanner Rd in Carmel, in the Perth hills, about 2.30pm on Friday. Dozens of police and SES volunteers joined Mr Coyle's family and friends to scour dense bushland for several days using drones, dogs and horses. Police confirmed they found a man's body on a Carmel property about 8.30am on Thursday. A police spokesman said formal identification had not yet taken place, but they believed it was the missing 21-year old man. 'The death is not being treated as suspicious and a report will be prepared for the coroner,' a spokesman said. During the search, a drone played a recorded message from Mr Coyle's mother. 'It's mum here. The police and volunteers are looking for you,' she said in the message. 'You're not in any trouble. If you hear or see the drone, please walk towards it.' His brother Connor Coyle told media Finn had been struggling with mental health and they were worried about him because it was completely out of character. 'It's entirely unlike him,' he said. 'We're all very worried for his wellbeing and his welfare, he's known to spend a lot of time in the local bush in the hill's area. 'I think he's very resourceful and he's a great young man, but he's suffering a lot of mental health. 'We're losing a generation of young people to mental health.' Detective Sergeant Brad Robinson said Mr Coyle was a 'resourceful fella' that liked being in the bush and search efforts were concentrated near his home.
