Missing man Jan Pace found dead

He was found during a police search in Pietà

Jan Pace, a 36-year-old man who was reported missing on Saturday, has been found dead, the police said on Sunday.

The grim discovery was made in mid-afternoon in a property in Marina Street, Pieta'. 

The hairdresser from Pietà was last seen on Wednesday.

Crisis Resolution Malta, a mental health support service offering 24/7 assistance, said in a statement on Saturday that Pace may be facing a serious personal crisis.

“Jan is not in a good place and may be experiencing a very serious and life-threatening crisis,” the organisation said. 

The police have ruled out foul play. Magistrate Philip Galea Farrugia is leading an inquiry.
