The body of a man found in woodland off Drift Road, Winkfield, on Sunday has now been formally identified as Huibert Gerard Boumeester, aged 49.
The Dutch financier had been missing since Monday, June 22.
Police are not treating the death as suspicious and the matter will now be handed over to the Berkshire Coroner.
An inquest is expected to be opened on Monday.
Althought the formal identification has only just taken place, earlier this week his family released a statement acknowledging that it was likely to be that of Mr Boumeester.
They said: "Since his disappearance we have hoped for a positive ending. We are deeply grieved by what we must now assume is a tragic outcome.
"We express our thanks to all those people who have been searching for Huibert these past days. We are left with great sadness."
