Search ends for Welsh doctor missing in New Zealand

The search for a Swansea doctor reported missing in New Zealand has been called off.

David Holland, 31, from Swansea went missing on March 11 after telling friends he was going swimming near his home in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Local police said that all available lines of enquiry had been "exhausted" and " further searching cannot occur without evidence to narrow any areas of interest", according to the BBC.

His mum, Karen Holland, of Swansea, who has flown to New Zealand with her son Rhodri, and met up with David's girlfriend Olivia, previously told WalesOnline : “We would just like to thank everyone for their messages of support at this heartbreaking time and to everyone who has contributed to the fund, it’s been truly overwhelming.”

So far, a total of £12,570 has been raised through a GoFundMe page, set-up by Dean Ella along with a couple of Swansea friends, to help support the family “to navigate this inconceivable situation.” Mr Holland, who has been living in Tauranga for about four years, had been living with flatmates in the Papamoa area.
