Authorities responded to reports of a body found on Aberystwyth beach at approximately 12:30 pm on July 26.
The deceased has been identified as Connor Parfitt, one of the missing men last seen near Hafan-Y-Mor Holiday Park in Pwllheli. Connor’s family and the coroner have been notified of the discovery.
The search is ongoing for the second man, Simon Wilson, and the authorities are providing support to his family, as confirmed by North Wales Police.
