The family of an Irishman who disappeared in Tenerife almost two years ago have been told a body has been found on the island.
Mr Watkins was being treated in Carmarthen after returning to Wales, but was then transferred to the Royal Gwent Hospital in Newport. “As a family we’d like to thank each and every one of you for your kindness and support during this heart-breaking time in our lives,” Mr Watkins’ family said in a statement upon his return. “Chris has been transferred from hospital in Carmarthen to the Royal Gwent. “Initially the prognosis for Chris was devastating but, he is doing well he can move both arms and feet. His tracheostomy has been removed after showing he could breathe on his own which has defied all the odds.
