He’s been treated for dehydration and exhaustion
A missing Brit has been found alive in Majorca, almost two weeks after he went missing.
Benjamin Ross, 26, had travelled to the Spanish island for a holiday in June to visit a friend, and ended up extending his stay.
He had been staying in Palma, the island’s capital, but hadn’t been heard from in almost a fortnight after his mum, Felix Robinson, lost contact with him.
She was left “terrified” by her son’s disappearance, which she said was “out of character.”
She ended up reporting Ben missing to Greater Manchester Police and the Foreign Office, before flying out to Majorca to start “door to door” searches for her son.
Felix told The Sun: “I’m so incredibly grateful for all the help and support we’ve received. Everyone has been truly incredible. We are so relieved to have found him and are now focused on getting him back to full health and home safe and well.”
A GoFundMe had been set up to help Felix with the cost of travelling out to Majorca, and in an update on the page, friend Carla Speight said the aspiring barrister had been reunited with his mum.
She wrote: “Ben has been FOUND! Today Ben was at the British Consulate in Palma Majorca and met with Felix who is incredibly relieved at the sight of her son and being able to hug him.
“For now, Felix and her family are requesting some privacy whilst they get Ben back to full strength and home, and they want to extend their thanks to the press, media and public for all their support in finding him.
“They now have the task of arranging an emergency passport alongside making sure he is well enough to fly home following treatment for dehydration and exhaustion.
“Donations to the GoFundMe that was set up by friends will be donated to Andy’s Man Club once they arrive home over the next week.”
