A 21-year-old British man who went missing after attending the TwitchCon gaming convention in the Netherlands has been found dead. Bradley Passey was last seen outside the nightclub Munch on Maasboulevard in Rotterdam at around 2am on May 30.
He had been staying at a hostel in the Overblaak Cube Houses area but failed to return after a night out. His family became concerned when he did not board his flight home on Monday and had no contact from him. Relatives travelled to Rotterdam to assist in the search, putting up posters and seeking footage from the area.
Bradley's sister, Amy, announced on social media that the family had been informed he drowned in the River Maas. She wrote: 'This isn’t a post we ever thought we would be sharing, but we have sadly had confirmation this morning that Bradley Passey unfortunately drown in River Maas.' She added that news had already spread in the Dutch media and thanked supporters for their love and donations.
Condolences have poured in on social media, with one person writing: 'Oh Amy I’m so sorry to read this. Sending condolences to you and your family.' Another said: 'I am absolutely heartbroken for you all.' A Rotterdam Police spokesperson earlier stated that no leads had been found during the search. The UK Foreign Office confirmed it is supporting the family and liaising with local authorities.
