British Indian student found dead
Gurdeep Hayer, a 20-year-old university student of Indian origin, who had been missing since he went out in Manchester to celebrate New Year, has been found dead.
The police said a body found in a river in Manchester city centre on Monday was identified as that of Gurdeep.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding his death,” it said in a statement.
Post mortem will take place later this week.
Gurdeep from West Bromwich, Midlands, went missing after a night out with friends at a nightclub in the city centre. He was last seen leaving the club early on January 2.
A CCTV footage reportedly showed him having a “short conversation” with a white man in his late 20s to early 30s, with dark curly hair. The man appeared giving him directions. It also showed a taxi driver accepting a fare from him before driving off.
“We have studied CCTV [footage] and can see that Gurdeep leaves the club around 2.15 [a.m.]. He appears to be steady on his feet and compos mentis enough to find himself a taxi,” said a senior police officer. Thanks to 'The Hindu.'
