Searches in the woodland took place last week and specialist support was given from the fire service which was assisting with an access ramp to enable further detailed searches and forensic analysis of the area.

Providing an update today, a spokesman for West Midlands Police said: "The scene has been closed and we're still working to identify the deceased."

The discovery is being treated as unexplained.
