The family of a missing New York banker who vanished while on vacation in Spain over a month ago confirmed the remains that washed ashore belong to the 37-year-old. 

“It is with profound sadness that I speak of the passing of my youngest son Grant,” Michael Barr, Grant Barr’s father, wrote in a post on his Facebook page.

Grant Barr was staying with friends and relatives in Estepona on the Costa del Sol when he disappeared on Jan. 28, according to the Spanish Eye.

His pants and passport were also found near a beach at a resort, shortly after he was reported missing, which prompted a massive search, the outlet reported.

“While the thoughts of a worst-case scenario came to mind from time to time, none of us actually thought this would ultimately be the outcome,” James Barr said.

James Barr also shared his frustration over the delay in notification, saying, “It means the last time we were all there searching for two weeks he was already found, however they didn’t even suggest that there was something they were looking into.”

Spain’s Guardia Civil and Policia Nacional have not commented on the case.

Barr worked at The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation and had previously worked for Citibank, according to his LinkedIn page.

“We are deeply saddened by the passing of our colleague, Grant Barr. On behalf of Grant’s coworkers and the entire BNY team, we wish to express our deepest sympathies to his family and will be supporting them at this incredibly difficult time,” a spokesperson for BNY shared with Fox News Digital. 

The U.S. Department of State also confirmed Barr’s passing to Fox News Digital and said they “offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss.”
