A body has been discovered in the search for missing Birmingham City supporter Paul Pike, who vanished after attending a match in Derby last weekend.

Derbyshire Police said the 18-year-old, who has autism and ADHD, went missing after watching Birmingham City at Pride Park on Saturday, 21 March. They said the death is not being treated as suspicious and there is not believed to be any third-party involvement. The force thanked the many people from Derby and from Birmingham who joined the search, and said a file is being prepared for the coroner.

It was believed his last known location was a path near the River Derwent. Officers searched the undergrowth and found items thought to belong to him near the path next to Pride Park.

At about 10.30am today, 29 March, officers found a body during the search. Formal identification has not yet taken place.

Paul’s family have been informed and have asked for privacy at this time.
