Tribute to Mark Moroney

It’s been confirmed human remains found in the US Virgin Islands are that of retired Isle of Man advocate Mark Moroney.

The 70-year-old went missing from his Caribbean home on 18 February during a widespread water and power outage.

He had left his residence saying he was going to get a torch.

Investigators have ruled out foul play and revealed the body was found in a heavily wooded area embedded with a thorn bush.

Mr Moroney, who had a distinguished law career here and founded the law firm Moroney's, was reported missing by his wife, Susan.

Fellow advocate Jerry Carter last saw him towards the end of last year:
