A BRITISH grandad who vanished two days into his holiday in Jamaica has been found dead.<\/p>\n
Cancer survivor Robert Dyer, 60, became disorientated while walking in woodland on the\u00a0Caribbean\u00a0island on Sunday and lost his way.<\/p>\n
\n
\n<\/p>\n
The dad-of-three, who recently retired as a personal trainer, made frantic calls to his brother after realising he was lost in the hilly terrain of Ballards Valley in\u00a0St Elizabeth.<\/p>\n
Robert's brother Henry, who he was staying with, desperately tried to direct him, but he was unable to find his way.<\/p>\n
A huge search mission was launched, but Robert's body has now tragically been found after a four-day hunt.<\/p>\n
The Jamaica Constabulary Force said his body was discovered at 9.15am local time on Thursday.<\/p>\n
Detectives said "no foul play" is suspected in his death.<\/p>\n His son Lewis Dyer, from Lewisham, South East London, had told The Sun his dad's trekking stick was found by volunteers late on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Lewis said the last time his family heard from Robert was on Monday, when he made a heartbreaking final call to his wife of 36 years Anne.<\/p>\n He said: "My mum managed to get through and speak to him.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n "He was lying in a ditch somewhere with no water and couldn't speak properly and had become immobile."<\/p>\n Lewis had said every hour was "critical" in the search for his dad, who was without the medication he needed for Type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n More than 250 people had joined police and the fire brigade in the search for the missing grandad.<\/p>\n Robert – hailed as a "family man" by his son – had planned to stay with his brother for four weeks, having recently given up work following a cancer battle.<\/p>\n In a tribute posted on social media, pal Rik Brown described Robert as a "gentleman and friend".<\/p>\n He wrote: "My beautiful day was saddened enormously to hear of the tragic passing of my friend Robert Dyer.<\/p>\n "He will be greatly missed."<\/p>\n<\/picture>HIDE FROM BEASTS <\/span><\/p>\n
