The body of a man who vanished from Shipley has been recovered from a West Yorkshire reservoir. Asad Mahmood, 31, was last seen in Shipley on Tuesday morning. In an appeal, West Yorkshire

Police said there were "serious concerns" for his welfare. The force said they were appealing for any witnesses who may have seen Asad in the afternoon or evening of May 27 in the

Stanbury or Oldfield area of Keighley, particularly around the Lower Laithe Reservoir area. A search of the water was then launched yesterday. On Saturday night, Janaza Announcements posted

on Facebook that Asad's body had been discovered at the Lower Laithe Reservoir. It said: "It has been sadly confirmed that a body has been found in the search for missing Asad
