The devastated family of a "happy-go-lucky" father-of-four have paid an emotional tribute after his body was found on a riverbank one month after he went missing.
Karl Pyle, 32, went missing following an argument with a relative in Ryton, Gateshead on March 6 and his dad Kevin had spent the following days combing the banks of the River Tyne in Newburn, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Taxi driver Kevin believed his son was most likely walking home to his house in Blucher, Newcastle, over the bridge at Newburn and his theory was proven correct on April 6 when Kyle's body was found just over 20 yards from where he had been searching, Chronicle Live reports.
