Missing care worker Paul Trapnell has been found dead in his car in woodland.

The 30-year-old, of Bowness Avenue, Didcot, was found in his white E-registration Rover 216, near Andover, Hampshire. His death is not being treated as suspicious.

Mr Trapnell's parents had made a desperate plea for their son, who had a history of depression, to contact them after he went missing on January 21.

Mr Trapnell, a care worker at a home for adults with learning difficulties, went to work on Thursday last week in a distressed state and handed in his notice. He was last seen leaving the home of a colleague in Reading.

He was divorced with a son and daughter.
