TODAY (Wednesday) marks six weeks since chef Kevin Boyle went missing from Purley.

The 26-year-old, from Old Lodge Lane, was last seen in the town centre on October 12 and his family and friends are concerned for his well-being.

Kevin, who trained with Jamie Oliver at the TV chef's first-ever Fifteen restaurant, has a history of depression.

Tens of thousands of messages have been sent out on social networking sites Facebook and Twitter, but Kevin has not been traced.

Leaflets have been handed out, a message was broadcast at Crystal Palace's match against Bristol City last month and Purley Baptist Church members have been holding prayer meetings.

Kevin's father Tom has previously thanked the community for their help and support, and said the family has been 'amazed' by all the kindness and support.

Update: A body was found in Coulsdon which was later identified as Kevin's. An inquest has been opened and adjourned, but police are not treating his death as suspicious. Kevin's sister Naomi Anderson and friend Peter Fosdike paid tribute to Kevin, describing him as a kind, caring, compassionate and intelligent man, while his former mentor Jamie Oliver described him as representing all that was good in Fifteen and in people.
