A BODY has been found in the search for 35-year-old Dominic Jackson, who was reported missing on Sunday night (Feb 5). The keen kayaker had close ties to a Caldey Island, having spent several holidays there with family.
He went missing in Aberdeenshire. On Monday (Feb 6) his kayak was found near Lybster in Caithness.
The body has yet to be identified.
Talking to the BBC, his sister, Ellie, said: “It has been quite an ordeal for everyone and we are just so thankful that we finally have an outcome even if it is not the one we have all been praying for.
“I have felt all along that Dom has been at peace with whatever outcome has befallen him and would have accepted his fate in good spirits which was his nature.
“We have taken such strength from this international community of people who have come together at such a difficult time for Dom’s family and friends and all those who knew him.
“Our heartfelt thanks must go out to all the people on the ground that worked tirelessly together to look for my brother. I must also thank the thousands of well wishers and prayers from right around the world that have kept us all going through this ordeal.”
