Imogen Tothill: Pal says ‘I knew this day would come’ as missing teen's body found

The heartbroken friend of a missing teenager found dead after going missing this week says she “knew this day would come.”

Imogen Tothil, 17, disappeared on Tuesday after failing to return to her home in Holmes Chapel, Cheshire.

Cheshire Police had been searching through the night and the force has now confirmed that a body found yesterday has been formally identified as the teen.

Several of her friends posted tributes and messages on social media.

One said: “When I said you deserve the world, I meant you were the world to me, and I would give it all away for you.

“I knew this day would come... I just wish it wasn't so soon.

"She is one with the stars, her true home."

Another added: “RIP. She was actually so beautiful and didn't deserve it."

A Cheshire Police spokeswoman said: "Formal identification has now taken place and the body has been confirmed as Imogen Tothill.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a case file will be prepared for the coroner.

"Our thoughts remain with Imogen's family and friends at this difficult time."

Inspector Mike Crimes previously said: “Officers have been searching for Imogen throughout the night, so far to no avail.

“This is totally out of character for her and we are becoming increasingly concerned for her welfare.

“I urge anyone in or around the Holmes Chapel area who thinks that they may have seen Imogen since she went missing to get in touch with us.

“The same goes for anyone with information regarding her whereabouts, or CCTV or dashcam footage of her since she disappeared."
