The body of Arthur Chaseling, 64, who was reported to have disappeared from a guest house at Blackheath on October 8, was found yesterday lying in the bush under a tree near the home of James Irwin, of Canyon Road, Medlow Bath.
Mr. Irwin was collecting wood when he saw the body. A razor was nearby and Chaseling was almost decapitated. A mirror was hanging on the tree and police believe that Chaseling looked into the mirror as he cut his throat.
