A FRANTIC search by police for a local man, ended in tragedy, after the missing 21-year-old from the Milford Haven was confirmed to have died.
Police officers were seen at around 8pm searching in the Milford Haven Marina area, and then at around 8.20pm a convoy of police vehicles were seen driving up Hamilton Terrace at high speed, and then towards the Black Bridge area.
