Body is found in search for Mackenzie Crook’s missing sister-in-law who disappeared more than a week ago after not going to chemotherapy session
A body has been found in the search for The Office star Mackenzie Crook’s missing sister-in-law Laurel Aldridge.
Sussex police confirmed the discovery following an 11-day search for Ms Aldridge, 62, who went missing from her home on February 14.
She was last seen on footage captured by her doorbell as she left her home.
The alarm was raised after Ms Aldridge, who had cancer, missed a session of chemotherapy.
In a statement police said: ‘Sadly the body of a woman has been found in the Tortington Lane area of Arundel.
‘At this stage, the family of missing Laurel Aldridge have been informed and we are seeking to confirm the identity of the woman.’

After Ms Aldridge disappeared, Mr Crook – who is best known for roles in The Office, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Worzel Gummidge – called for the public to keep an eye out for her in the West Sussex area.
Speaking this week he said: ‘She left the house with nothing but what she was wearing, with no keys and no phone. She has not been seen since.
‘She missed her fifth chemo session last Tuesday and we think that is what has triggered some sort of crisis in her and she has gone off for a long walk somewhere.’
Mr Crook also told ITV that her disappearance was ‘very out of character’ and that his family was ‘obviously really worried’.
