Boy's body in woods was grieving teenager Luke CowanBy Euan Stretch 3/09/2009

HANGING


A body found hanging in woods is that of a grieving teenager who disappeared two weeks after the death of a beloved uncle.

Luke Cowan, 17, had been missing since June, when he left a note telling his family how much he loved them.

Friends and family carried out large-scale searches and handed out leaflets. Luke's parents Michelle Knight and Larry Cowan made several appeals for information.



The body was found by a dog-walker in dense woods at Shanklin, 10 miles from Luke's home in Newport, Isle of Wight, on Tuesday.

At the scene was a bible and an order of service from the funeral of Luke's uncle Samule Cowan, who died of pneumonia aged 44.

Yesterday Mrs Knight said: "I think Luke wanted to be with his uncle again. They were best friends and used to go walking together."

Police said: "The coroner has been informed. The death does not appear suspicious."

REST IN PEACE LUKE. YOU WILL BE MISSED BY A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS WHO HAVE TRIED TO FIND YOU SINCE YOU WENT MISSING.

I feel so sorry for his family, may he R.I.P now

Rest in Peace Luke.

RIP Luke xx

What a very,very sad outcome for his family & friends. My heart goes out to them. RIP Luke xxx
