Manchester: Nine days after an Indian-origin man, Gurdeep Hayer, went missing in Manchester, the police have found his body. Mr Hayer was last seen in the early hours of January 2.
Police say there are no suspicious circumstances in the death of the 20-year-old, whose body was found in a river near the city centre on Monday.
According to the police, Mr Hayer had travelled to Manchester from West Bromwich on December 31, 2011 to celebrate New Year's Eve and stayed with friends in the Fallowfield area. He reportedly went out again with his friends on the night of January 1.
Mr Hayer was seen leaving the nightclub on his own and getting into a taxi, at about 2.30am the following morning, police said.
The UK police spoke to the taxi driver who picked up Mr Hayer from outside the nightclub. The driver, who was identified through CCTV footage, told the police that a few minutes after boarding the taxi, Gurdeep asked him if he could stop.
The driver stopped the taxi and Mr Hayer then paid his fare. He got out of the taxi and that was the last time he was seen, police said.
