Search for Missing Doctor in France

A retired British doctor has gone missing in the French Pyrenees, prompting a search operation involving dogs and helicopters. The search was initiated after the doctor, identified as Mr. Doherty, communicated with his family, informing them that he had fallen and was unable to move. His last messages included scenic photos and a concerning note about clouds gathering over a mountain, leading his family to urge him to descend. The search efforts have successfully located Mr. Doherty's car and a tent, but he remains unaccounted for. His wife and one of his four daughters have been at the last known location since Wednesday morning, actively participating in the search. Ms. Doherty is also traveling to France to join the ongoing efforts to locate her husband, expressing deep concern for his welfare. Mr. Doherty, who has lived in France for nearly a decade since his retirement, was last heard from on Tuesday. His family is understandably anxious, as they await news of his condition. A spokesperson for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has confirmed that they are providing support to the family and are in contact with local authorities regarding the search. As the search continues, the family remains hopeful for Mr. Doherty's safe return, while the community rallies around them during this distressing time.
