Authorities believe that the body is that of the missing Briton.
The Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) confirmed the heartbreaking discovery on Saturday, stating: “We are assisting the family of a British man who has passed away in Turkey, and we are in touch with local authorities.”

When he went missing, Ben was wearing a black Versace shirt, black shorts, and white Nike trainers adorned with a blue tick.
This tragedy occurred alongside the ongoing search for a prominent British climber and her American friend, who vanished after attempting to climb a 23,000-foot mountain under perilous conditions.
Fay Manners, 37, and Michelle Dvorak, 31, have not been seen for over two days after ascending the formidable Chaukhamba mountain in northern India.
The leader of the rescue team informed The Sun that they plan to follow the same climbing route on Sunday.
He stated: “Numerous agencies are coordinating efforts in this operation.”
“The Indian Army, Indian Air Force, District Administration, State Administration, alongside my team and the State Disaster Response Force, are working together.”
“We hope to rescue these two women as quickly as possible.”
In a separate incident, another British holidaymaker went missing, and his body was found in September.

This incident occurred just weeks after a British hiker was found dead and another went missing in Mallorca during a storm.
