Officers made the discovery at 3pm yesterday (Sunday March 23).
A spokeswoman for Cheshire Police said: “The man was pronounced dead at the scene. The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner.”
Mr Cox (pictured), 49, was reported missing by family on March 6, but was last seen at an address on Park Road, Nantwich, on March 1.
He had been temporarily staying at the property, which is owned by a friend.
