Tragedy struck as a young man from the UK was discovered dead after going missing following a TwitchCon event held in the Netherlands.
Bradley Passey, aged 21, vanished on May 30 after being last seen outside nightclub Munch on Maasboulevard around 2 am, according to his friends.
Having participated in the gaming convention, Bradley was said to have been accommodated at a hostel in the Overblaak Cube Houses area but failed to return after the night out.
His family raised concerns when he did not catch his scheduled flight back home the following Monday, and all attempts to reach him were unsuccessful.
Following a massive search initiated by local authorities in Rotterdam, members of his family joined in the efforts, putting up posters and inquiring about any possible footage of him.
His sister Amy revealed on social media that they received news confirming Bradley’s drowning in a river.
Amy’s Facebook post expressed their unexpected sorrow: “This isn’t a post we ever thought we would be sharing, but we have sadly had confirmation this morning that Bradley Passey unfortunately drowned in River Maas.
“We hoped that we would have time as a family to process this, but unfortunately news has already spread in the media in Netherlands.
“We appreciate all the love sent over the last few days, the shares & any donations made so far on the go fund me. Please continue to do so because we don’t know how long my family will remain in Rotterdam. Thank you x x x.”
Social media has been flooded with condolences, with many offering support to Amy and her family during this difficult time.
Throughout the search operation, a spokesperson from Rotterdam Police informed the press that they were actively gathering information but had not yet discovered any significant leads.
An official from the UK Foreign Office stated that they were providing assistance to the family of the deceased British man in the Netherlands and were collaborating with the local authorities.
