Fire and Rescue Service staff helped to recover the partially submerged remains, which were found at 10.40 am by Jersey Water staff carrying out routine maintenance, from shallow water at the north-west of Handois Reservoir in St Lawrence at about 2 pm on Thursday, and detectives later confirmed that Mr Lynch’s passport had been recovered from the pocket of a jacket found on the human remains.
The area is 600 metres from Thistle Grove commercial estate where Mr Lynch was captured on CCTV the night he disappeared in December.
A blue screening tent was erected near the bank while forensic experts examined the scene and officers carried out searches of the immediate area.
