A BLACKPOOL man who went missing on June 4 has been found safe and well in London.

William John Cooper, 44, who is mentally handicapped and suffers from diabetes, was found in the capital on Thursday after concerns that he had got on a train to London Euston sparked a nationwide hunt.

It was feared that Mr Cooper, of Egerton Road, Blackpool, could slip into a diabetic coma after going missing without his medication.

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "He was traced to a hospital in London and has been reunited with his family."
