Missing British Hiker Found Dead in Peru


A British hiker who went missing in Peru almost two weeks ago has been found dead.
Harry Greaves was last seen on April 7, shortly before his 29th birthday, when he set out on a mountain hike in the Andes.

The furniture maker, from Shropshire, was expected to return three days later but it was not until yesterday that his body was found at the foot of a 40-metre crevasse.

His family confirmed last night that he had been found.


They said, in a statement:

‘It is with great sadness that we announce that his smile will no longer give such light, he will no longer give calm through his touch, and wisdom through his words.

‘Thank you to everyone who has helped us find our beloved Harry. His spirit will always be with us. From his loving family.’

Harry had flown to Peru on February 20 and was visiting friends in Pisac, near the city of Cusco.


The Foreign Office confirmed the death, adding: ‘Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time and our Embassy staff are continuing to support them.’
