A BRIT businessman has been found dead after mysteriously going missing in Barcelona two years ago.

Giles Pooley, reportedly a Bafta-winning digital producer, vanished from his home in the Catalan city in 2023, cops said.

DNA tests have now confirmed that a body found at the end of last year is that of the missing Brit.

Giles had last been seen on March 8 2023.

His flatmate called the cops when he got home and saw Giles’ beloved Husky dog Finn was alone.

Friend Dan Cleland said: “We’re still waiting to know fully what happened, but police have confirmed he’s gone. He overcame so much in life, reaching incredible highs, so I don’t want to focus on how he left us, I want to remember what he gave us.

“Giles was talented. He won a place at The Brit School, then launched himself into production in Soho across ads and promos.

“He landed a job at Sky Movies working his way up the world of digital media winning a Bafta for his work on Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather.”

Giles described himself on an online profile as a “multi-award-winning digital producer” who created interactive products for British TV broadcasters as well as cultural institutions across the globe.

His death is not being treated as suspicious.

Barcelona design agency LuzidLab, which Giles helped found, said in its own tribute: “Giles was such a vibrant, charismatic, and passionate person whose infectious energy touched everyone he met.

“After working in the UK’s broadcasting industry, he moved to Barcelona in 2012, bringing his creativity and drive with him.

“Giles was committed to creating work that made a positive impact on society.

“Working with him was always fun, he inspired us to think big, dig deeper, and create work that we could all be proud of.

“His influence will remain with us, and we’ll carry his memory forward in everything we do. We hope our future projects reflect his spirit and make him proud.”

It comes after two Brit pensioners in their 80s were found dead at a Costa Blanca home after their bodies reportedly lay undiscovered for days.

Cops are now investigating after the bodies of the man and woman were found Thursday afternoon at 3.30pm at a home near the small town of San Fulgencio – a 45-minute drive south of Alicante.
