A  64-year-old man from Siggiewi has been found dead at a reservoir in Ta' Lawreti, near Siggiewi, after having been reported missing yesterday.

The grim discovery was made by members of the Civil Protection Department, who emptied the reservoir after the man's car was found near by.

The reservoir is not connected to the public water supply.

An autopsy is to be held tomorrow.

The man worked a field near the reservoir and may have fallen into the reservoir accidentally.
