Actor Callum Kerr, known for his role in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, shared an emotional statement on social media regarding the loss of his parents, Andrew and Dawn Searle. The couple, both in their sixties, had relocated from Scotland to a small community in south-west France a decade ago.
The tragic discovery of their bodies was made by a neighbor on Thursday, who became concerned when the couple did not arrive for a planned dog walk. Local authorities have indicated that the case may be a homicide, sparking an extensive investigation involving forensic teams and criminal technicians. The mayor of the area, Jean-Sébastien Orcibal, stated that no initial evidence suggests a burglary, and the cause of death remains uncertain.
In his online tribute, Kerr appealed for privacy as the family copes with this unimaginable loss. He reflected on his relationship with his mother, recalling the joy of walking her down the aisle at her recent wedding in France. The couple was well-respected in their community, often hosting neighborly gatherings, and their passing has left an indelible mark on those who knew them.
