Police said enquiries are continuing to confirm the identity of the body found.

Jesus hasn't been seen since August 1, last year. He was reported missing the day after as family and friends raised concerns for his welfare.

It was found that he had caught a number 36 bus from Leeds bus station on August 1, and got off on the A61. The last known sighting of him was on CCTV near Harewood Bridge.

Underwater searches were carried out by police nearby in the River Wharfe. In March, police said they had "explored and exhausted every possible line of enquiry".
