“All we can say is that his death is a loss to this whole world. As a family we are totally heartbroken over what has happened to Jack.
“We want to thank all of Jack’s friends and family, along with the wider community and Essex Police for their efforts during the search.
“We really do appreciate the effort that everyone went to in order to find Jack. We would now ask that everyone now respects our privacy.”

Our thoughts are with Jack’s family and friends at this very difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Jack Morrad.
