The son of a Scottish couple found dead in their home in France has shared the family’s grief over their tragic loss. Callum Kerr, actor known for roles in Hollyoaks and Netflix's Virgin River, released a heartfelt statement on social media, revealing the profound sorrow felt by the couple's four children. The bodies of Andrew and Dawn Searle were discovered on Thursday in their home in a rural hamlet when a neighbor went to check on them after they missed a planned dog walk. The couple, who had relocated from Scotland to France about ten years prior, were in their sixties. Local authorities, including Mayor Jean-Sébastien Orcibal, have indicated that the circumstances of their deaths are suspicious and possibly a homicide. Kerr asked for privacy as the family navigates this difficult time, stating they would provide updates when appropriate. As forensics teams continue their investigation, the local police agency remains without a confirmed theory regarding the couple's deaths. Community members remember the Searles as warm and welcoming neighbors who had integrated well into the local expat society.
