After days of searching for missing Ben, 32, a relative announced on social media that a body has been found by the search team.

Cops say the body is believed to belong to the Brit.

The  Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed the tragic find on Saturday as they said: “We are supporting the family of a British man who has died in Turkey and we are in contact with the local authorities.”

His family launched a desperate appeal last month to help find Ben with them saying he was from Abertridwr in Caerphilly County Borough.

They said he was last sighted in Kaleici which sits in the centre of the city of Antalya.

He was wearing a black Versace shirt, black shorts, and white Nike trainers with a blue tick when he disappeared.

It comes as a top Brit climber and her American pal are missing after scaling a 23,000ft mountain in treacherous conditions.

Briton Fay Manners, 37, and Michelle Dvorak, 31, have been missing for over two days after trekking up the looming Chaukhamba mountain in northern India.

The head of the rescue operation told The Sun that his team are planning to go up the same route up the mountain on Sunday.

He said: “There are so many agencies working here. They are all working in coordination with each other.

“The Indian Army, Indian Air Force, the District Administration, State Administration, along with my team, the State Disaster Response Force.

“We hope to evacuate these two ladies as soon as possible.”

Another body of a Brit who went missing on holiday was tragically found in September.

The unnamed holidaymaker is thought to have got lost while hiking in the south of Lanzarote before his body was found at the entrance to Los Ajaches – a protected natural park.

That came just weeks after a British hiker was found dead as another went missing after they got lost in the mountains of Majorca during a storm.

The body was reportedly found near the spot where cops had begun their search in the Spanish paradise island.
