Levesconte, who ran the Royal Oak in Shrewton, was last seen at the pub on Sunday 9 December before disappearing with £30,000 from the pub’s Christmas thrift fund.
His body was discovered in the English Channel near Dover by Kent Police on Christmas Eve with the death being treated as non-suspicious. It is thought that Levesconte jumped from a ferry bound for the French town of St Malo.
Local families who had donated to the thrift fund have now been reimbursed after contributions were made from various parts of the world.
