A father was found dead behind a garden shed two days after suffering a fatal injury in a chainsaw accident.

Ed Parry, 54, had been carrying out gardening and DIY jobs around the family home in Seasalter, near Whitstable, when he injured his wrist while using the chainsaw.

But he went undiscovered for almost 48 hours after seemingly going missing from the family home on April, 21.

Mr Parry's wife, Amy, raised the alarm after he disappeared without a trace, filing a missing person's report to the police.

But despite officers attending and carrying out extensive searches, the plumber remained hidden between a garden fence and the shed until the family dog made the heartbreaking discovery.
