The body of a man who was thought to be missing for days was found by his wife behind their garden shed after a chainsaw accident.

Amy Parry had reported her husband Ed missing after returning home to their house in Seasalter,near Whitstable,and finding no trace of him.

After a police search,Amy,guided by the family dog,stumbled across her husband’s body.

She said: ‘I never thought for one second he was on the property. I only found him because one of my dogs kept going behind the back there,and then it just dawned on me.’

An inquest heard Parry,a 54-year-old plumber and musician,suffered a catastrophic wound to his left wrist while carrying out gardening work with a handheld chainsaw.
