The disappearance of Joop Sparkes, a 29-year-old British tourist, in Prague last month has been confirmed by his family. They have sadly announced that the body found in the Vltava River by Czech police is indeed his. Joop, who hails from Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, was last seen on April 27, jumping into the river from a party boat in the early hours of the morning. When he failed to resurface, he was reported missing.
The river, which runs through the heart of the Czech capital, was searched by authorities and yesterday, a body was recovered. Joop's sister Jodie Wilson spoke to the Daily Mirror, stating that the body found has been identified as her brother's. She also added that the family is devastated by the news, as they had hoped for a different outcome. However, they are determined to bring Joop back home as promised.
In her emotional statement, Jodie expressed the love and grief felt by the family, saying, "We love you to the moon and back Joopster, and you have left the biggest hole in our hearts ever. Rest easy baby bro." According to the newspaper, Jodie, along with Joop's girlfriend Charley Maben and aunt Gillian, had flown to Prague soon after his disappearance to assist in the search.
