A British couple missing in Valencia after floods hit the region have been found dead in their car, their daughter has told the BBC.

Don Turner, 78, and wife Terry, 74, had not been seen since heavy downpours caused flash floods in eastern Spain.

Their daughter Ruth O’Loughlin, from Burntwood, Staffordshire, confirmed to the BBC that her parents’ bodies were found in their car on Saturday.

She had previously told the BBC her parents had moved to Spain a decade ago as they “always wanted to live in the sunshine”.

She was told the two were missing on Thursday after friends checked on them and found their pets at home but their vehicle gone.

Terry had told friends they were “popping out” to get some gas, she said.
