A body has been found in the search for missing teenager Cole Cooper who vanished more than four weeks ago.
The 19-year-old was seen on CCTV on May 4 as he tried but failed to gain access to his dad’s home at 6am in Longcroft after attending a party in Denny.
On May 7 he was last seen asking a school friend for a lift near Cumbernauld road – which he was not given.
He was officially reported missing two days later, and a body was found in a wooded area near Kilsyth Road in Falkirk yesterday.
His brother Connor told Sky News his family felt ‘lost’, describing Cole’s disappearance as ‘hell, for all of us’.

She said: ‘Is it actually happening? I have been wanting to wake up and it’s just been a big nightmare.’

They spoke to more than 400 people and reviewed over 2,000 hours of CCTV.
Police Scotland said: ‘Formal identification has yet to take place however the family of missing man Cole Cooper, 19, has been informed.’
