Scott Diver

The family of a Manx teenager who was found dead after going missing in Scotland have thanked everybody who has offered their support since his disappearance.

Police in Scotland confirmed the body of 16-year-old Scott Diver was found last week, more than seven weeks after he disappeared from Clydebank.

The teenager moved to Scotland from the Island three years ago, but still had relatives locally.

Following confirmation that a body found in a wooded area last Thursday was that of the teenager, a campaign page set up by Scott's family on Facebook posted to thank those who tried to help find the missing teen.

It added that the page had been a big help to the family, but will now close to allow his relatives to grieve properly.

Officers in Scotland say the death isn't being treated as suspicious.
