The search for a UK man who went missing while on a stag weekend in Prague has ended after the discovery of a body in a river near where he was last seen.
Karl Law vanished on November 15 after he became separated from his brother and friends while on a trip to the Czech capital to celebrate a friend's forthcoming wedding.
Law, 35, was last seen at 11.30pm that day near a bar in the city's Old Town.
His friends and family have taken turns travelling to Prague, putting up thousands of posters as they searched for him, but on Monday a body was retrieved from the city's Vltava River.
Lee Cross, the party's stag, told BBC News a body found in the River Vltava on Sunday was identified as his cousin.
His family had run a campaign and hired an investigator to find him.
Mr Cross said he and the family were "devastated" at the news.
'Dream cousin'
"It's been awful. I know people say these things, but he was such a lovely person," he said.
"He was amazing. He was the kindest person you could meet and didn't have a bad bone in his body. He's a great dad to Lenny and a great partner.
"He was the dream cousin."
A post-mortem examination was due to be carried out by Czech authorities.
