Divers have located the body of a diver who was reported missing on 7th August 2021.
Carvalho Ildelindo da Silveira, aged in his 60s and from Bramdean in Hampshire, was diving off the coast of Lulworth Cove on Saturday 7 August 2021. He was last seen in the water at around 4.15pm and was reported missing to the RNLI at around 8.15pm.
At around 3.05pm on Tuesday 10 August 2021 divers from Devon & Cornwall Police, with assistance from the Dorset Police Marine Section, very sadly located the body of man in Lulworth Bay.
Our thoughts remain with the family and friends of Carvalho at this extremely difficult time.
Officers would like to thank everyone who shared the original appeal as well as colleagues from all the partner agencies who assisted in the search
