A body found within a wooded area has been confirmed as an East End man who went missing earlier this month.
John Hunter was last seen in Cranhill on Friday, July 3, before he went missing prompting a hunt to find him.
Sadly, police have now confirmed that a body found off of Springboig Avenue on Monday, July 13, has been formally identified as the 51-year-old.
His family have been informed and have asked for privacy at this time.
We previously reported how, emergency services descended on Springboig Avenue after a body was found on July 31, at around 5pm near a local football field, Danny's Park.
A large cordon was erected in the area and officers announced that they were treating the death as 'unexplained'.
Over the course of two days, a group of forensic officers scoured the scene while other officers went door to door to speak with residents.
The death is still being treated as unexplained and a postmortem is to take place in due course.
