THE body of a Melbourne man missing from his parents farm house near Pyramid Hill since June 9 has been found.Keith ‘Richard’ Jones, 43, had not been seen or heard from since walking out of his parents' Mologa property on June 9. Victoria Police spokeswoman Sergeant Creina O'Grady said Mr Jones' body was found on the property by a relative on Friday. She said there were no suspicious circumstances. A family spokesman told the Bendigo Advertiser Mr Jones' body was found "about 100 metres from the farm house". It is understood the body was revealed as flood waters receded from the property. Mr Jones leaves behind his wife Lucinda Cross and seven-year-old daughter Charlotte, who had hand-drew a poster for the person who found her father. It read: "You saved my dad. You should be so proud of yourself that you saved him". Ms Cross had told the Bendigo Advertiser it was totally out of character for her husband to not make contact but said he might have been depressed following a number of hardships including a death in the family. * For help or information, go to beyondblue.org.au, or phone Suicide Helpline on 1300 651 251 or Lifeline on 13 1114.
