THE young man found dead on Chobham Common on Wednesday last week has been named as Lyndon Turner, who lived in the Ascot area.

The 19-year-old was found dead near Monument Car Park after the ambulance service and police were called at around 5.30pm.

The parking area was cordoned off and there were several marked and unmarked police vehicles there until Thursday afternoon. A tent was put up and officers were seen searching the surrounding heathland.

Surrey Police would like to speak to anyone who saw Lyndon after 11pm on Tuesday. He was described as white, 6ft 2in, of slim build, wearing a black North Face fleece jacket, black Nike trainers with a red paint design and odd socks.

Det Insp Pete Howgate said: “Lyndon’s death is being treated as unexplained and there is a period of time during which we would like to establish his movements.

“Please get in touch if you can help in any way.”
