Tributes are pouring in after 70-year-old British pensioner Gary Ferns, who vanished in Tenerife four months ago, was sadly confirmed dead. Originally from Manchester but living in Tenerife, Gary had been missing since being discharged from El Mojon Hospital. His disappearance sparked a frantic search by friends and family, with last sightings reported near Playa Las Vistas in Los Cristianos.
His sister, Elaine Schmidt-Ferns, shared the heartbreaking update on Facebook, revealing a body found in a hospital in Santa Cruz had now been confirmed as Gary. The hospital was not the one he had been discharged from, adding to the confusion over his whereabouts. The delay in identifying him came down to the fact that Gary had no ID on him, and DNA testing had to be used to confirm who he was, reported the Mirror.
