Gardai have provided a tragic update in the decades-long search for a missing Cork<\/a> man as a body has been located.<\/p>\n Patrick ‘Patsy’ O’Sullivan was just 35 years old when he went missing in Co Cork 34 years ago. The search has now been stood down, CorkBeo<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n Mr O’Sullivan disappeared in 1992<\/a>, with his last-known contact with family coming in Lombardstown, Cork over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend in April of that year. He had returned from work in neighbouring Co Kerry.<\/p>\n He was due to come back to see his family in the following weeks for a Christening but he never turned up at the event, and has been missing ever since.<\/p>\n ‘Patsy’ would often go away to work for weeks at a time, in different locations, but he would always maintain contact with his family, and return periodically.<\/p>\n Over the years, his family never gave up hope of finding Patsy again and made a fresh appeal for information as recently as July of this year, using social media to appeal to people in Co Kerry<\/a> and beyond for any information they might have, no matter how small.<\/p>\n It’s now understood however that Patsy has been located deceased abroad, and his family has been informed.<\/p>\n The case of his disappearance was also shared on Crimecall on a number of occasions, including last year, when he would have been 68 years old.<\/p>\n Patsy was the middle child of seven siblings, with his two brothers previously speaking to RTE<\/a> about the pain they have felt since he went missing.<\/p>\n His brother Jerry simply put it: “He just stopped coming home.” Jerry also recalled his brother having a “heart of gold\u201d, while other brother Eugene said he always \u201cenjoyed his life to the full.”<\/p>\n In this evening’s update, a Garda spokesperson said: “The missing person, Patrick (Patsy) O\u2019Sullivan, whose last known contact with his family was in Lombardstown, County Cork in April 1992, has been located.<\/p>\n “An Garda S\u00edoch\u00e1na would like to thank the media and public for their assistance.”<\/p>\n
