A man who died following a serious incident at a property in Kent has been identified as Nathan Jermy.
The death happened at a property on Margate High Street on Thursday (June 11) after police were called shortly after 11.30am following concerns for a person’s welfare.
Officers from Kent Police attended the address and found the body of a man inside.
Mr Jermy’s family, who had previously reported him missing, have been informed.
Kent Police has emphasised that formal identification has not yet taken place.
Detectives have since launched a murder investigation, and two people have been charged.
In a statement, as reported by KentOnline, Mr Jermy’s relatives said: "As a family, we are completely devastated by the loss of our Nathan.
"The past week has been unimaginable.
“Having already lost Nathan's mum and his brother, both to suicide, when Nathan went missing our minds naturally went to there.
"Never in a million years did we think we would be facing a murder investigation.
"We are heartbroken, shocked, angry and utterly devastated.
“The pain of losing Nathan is unbearable, and the circumstances surrounding his death have left our family struggling to comprehend what has happened.
"Like any family, there are moments when the anger feels overwhelming and when we want answers immediately, but we know the justice Nathan deserves must come through the police investigation and the courts.
"We would like to thank everyone who shared appeals, supported the search and kept Nathan in their thoughts.
"While we understand there is public interest, we ask that our family's privacy is respected at this incredibly difficult time.
“Please allow us the space to grieve and allow the justice process to take its course.
"Nathan was loved beyond words and will be missed every single day.
“He deserved a future, he deserved happiness, and he deserved so much more than this.
"We will continue to stand together as a family and seek the justice Nathan deserves.
“Thank you for your understanding."
