A body believed to be of a British man missing for more than a week has been found in Spain.

Steven Michael B, 48, went missing in Las Salas, in northern Spain, on July 11.

The body of an man has now been found in the church bell tower in the village.

Steven had been missing following an argument with his wife.

While his body is yet to be formally identified, the Mayor Manuel Valbuena, said evidence pointed towards it being the missing Brit.

After the autopsy results, police are expected to announce that his death is not being treated as a crime and no other suspects are involved. 

The search for Steven started last Sunday and involved emergency teams out looking for him.

Authorities were worried after he left his wife in a garage following an argument and dumped personal belongings before abandoning his car.
