Questions remain surrounding the death of a celebrated British astrophysicist after his body was found topless in the Chilean desert 56 days after he was reported missing.
Prof Thomas Marsh, 60, who worked at the University of Warwick, was last seen on Sept 16, two days after arriving at a research facility on the outskirts of the Atacama Desert.
Following a search led by specialist forces and volunteers, the father-of-two’s body was found lying on its side on a steep, rocky slope almost two miles from his accommodation at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla.
Prof Marsh was wearing shorts and walking shoes but was topless, according to a police source.
